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.

Apple Tap to Pay feature now available outside of US

Apple has expanded the Tap to Pay feature to iPhone users outside of the US. Launched last year, Tap to Pay is an Apple Pay feature that lets users make contactless payments. The iPhone becomes a sales terminal that can accept Apple Pay, a digital wallet, or a card that has an NFC chip. Apple Tap to Pay is now available in Taiwan.

According to Apple, the company has been working with “leading brands and app developers” from the payments industry for the launch of Tap to Pay in Taiwan. As a result, China Trust Bank and TapPay are the first platforms that support the Apple Tap to Pay feature in Taiwan. Accepting payments through Apple Tap to Pay in Taiwan are now Taiwan Mobile and Taiwan Taxi for now.

But Apple is working to bring more financial institutions on board. Later this year, Taipei Fubon Bank will offer support for Tap to Pay.

How does Apple’s Tap to Pay work?

Apple launched Tap to Pay in the US initially. With the help of a ‘Proximity Reader’ API, an app developer can integrate Tap to Pay to work with the iPhone’s NFC reader. This turns the iPhone into a point-of-sale terminal that accepts payments from Apple Pay, NFC-enabled cards, and eligible digital wallets. Apple has collaborated with different payment firms for the smooth functioning of the Tap to Pay feature.

The Tap to Pay feature works on an iPhone XS or later running iOS 15.4 or higher operating system. However, users in Taiwan must have their eligible iPhones updated to iOS 16.4.

Meanwhile, Apple has also expanded the Track Detection feature on Apple Watch to France. Apple Watch Series 4 and later running watchOS 9.2 in France now support Track Detection. This feature, when enabled, uses combined data from GPS and Apple Maps to determine the lane of the track you are running.
