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.

Twitter Blue relaunches on Monday with increased price for iPhone users

Twitter once again has a relaunch date for its Twitter Blue subscription. After its scheduling and then postponement earlier, Twitter Blue is now slated to be relaunched on Monday — nearly a month after it was suspended for fueling chaos on the platform through fake accounts. Twitter Blue — which offers a blue checkmark to subscribers — will also be more expensive than before, but only for iOS users.

The Twitter Blue subscription will cost $11 a month for iOS users as the company adjusts Apple’s 30 percent commission to its regular $8 a month fee, which will also continue for the rest of the users. In other words, if you sign up for Twitter Blue on the web, you will pay $8 a month. Although iOS users are supposed to pay extra, you could subscribe to Twitter Blue on the web and continue using it on your iPhone.

Twitter Blue relaunch

After Twitter CEO Elon Musk made drastic changes to the verification system on Twitter, anyone could get a blue checkmark by subscribing to Twitter Blue earlier. That led to several hoax accounts getting the blue tick and wreaking havoc on Twitter. With the relaunch, Twitter is tightening the system. Anyone who subscribes to Twitter Blue for a blue checkmark will need to register a phone number first. Esther Crawford, product manager at Twitter, said a phone number verification would help curb fake verified accounts, which were a big problem the last time. Moreover, changing the handle, display name, or profile photo will remove your blue checkmark until a review.

In addition to the blue checkmark, the Twitter Blue subscription offers features such as priority in replies, mentions, and searches, fewer advertisements, and the ability to post longer and high-quality videos and get early access to new features.

Twitter also announced that is replacing the “Official” label with a gold and grey tick for “government and multilateral accounts” later this week. The “Official” label came alongside the last version of the Twitter Blue subscription and it was also suspended for some time before Twitter widened the deployment.
