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. The new 500,000-square-foot (55,5...

Nothing Phone (2) to be powered by Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1: Qualcomm exec reveals

The Nothing Phone (2) will launch later this year globally with a flagship-grade chipset. However, there’s a conundrum when it comes to its exact chipset. Previously, some leaks suggested Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, while others hinted at Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. But so far, the company hasn’t revealed any details about the same.

Now, Qualcomm’s executive has accidentally revealed the exact chipset of the device while applauding Nothing for its partnership with Qualcomm.

And believe it or not, Nothing isn’t going with a new chipset altogether. Instead, it appears to be going with an old flagship chipset that’s popular right now.

Nothing Phone (2) chipset and other specs

Qualcomm’s SVP and GM of Mobile, Compute and XR business unit, Alex Katouzian has revealed the chipset of the phone. He has explicitly revealed the Phone (2) to have Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.

For the unversed, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip isn’t fairly new. It’s an old chip released last year and is based on a 4nm fabrication process. Although it’s slightly old, it’s the next best chipset after the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC.

Also, many brands under Rs 40,000 are using this chipset to cut costs while offering a flagship-grade experience. Now, Nothing also seems to be joining the bandwagon, if the news is to be believed.

Other than this, the Phone (2) is expected to come with a host of improvements over the Nothing Phone (1). The overall design footprint may remain the same. It could retain the transparent back.

The device is expected to have a 120Hz AMOLED display on the front. On the rear, it will likely have the Glyph lighting interface and dual or triple cameras (possibly with a better sensor). This time around, the Glyph interface is expected to have more customization.

In terms of battery, we expect a big cell with faster charging speeds. It will most likely boot on Android 13 OS out of the box with Nothing’s custom skin on top.
