AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Elon Musk may further delay Twitter’s paid blue tick because he won’t pay Apple

Elon Musk changes the course of action for Twitter in moments. After acquiring the social media platform, he made some drastic changes to Twitter, including revamping the Twitter Blue subscription to make verification a paid feature. But after some impersonating profiles got verified and dealt a huge impact, Musk paused Twitter Blue. A few days later — after several reconsiderations — Musk said Twitter Blue would finally relaunch on November 29, but then he sparred with Apple and now the paid verification seems to be in a pickle again.

According to Platformer, Twitter CEO Musk may have delayed the relaunch of the paid verification feature as a part of the Blue subscription once again. The report said that Twitter employees had been told that there will be changes to Blue, such as a one percent increase in the price from $7.99 to $8 a month and phone number verification. But there could be more to it.

The Twitter Blue subscription may not be available on iOS as an in-app purchase when it relaunches since Musk does not want to pay Apple the 30 percent cut. He has been criticising Apple for the past few days, targeting its App Store policies that require developers to pay as much as 30 percent commission for every purchase. While this issue has been raised previously (Epic Games challenged Apple in court), Musk is adding fuel to the fire and gathering support from other disgruntled developers to put pressure on Apple.

Musk, over the past few days, has called out Apple for suspending advertising on Twitter, censoring content in the App Store, and charging the commission, which he dubbed a “hidden 30 percent tax on the internet.”
