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.

Microsoft Teams now let you use Snapchat’s popular dog face filter

Microsoft Teams users can now play around with the popular dog face filter and several others during video calls following the company’s partnership with Snap. As part of the announcement, Microsoft said more than 20 Snapchat Lenses will be available in the Teams app. You could put a cat or a sloth or a teddy bear on your shoulder or head, or simply try to look like a dog or cat using Snapchat’s Lenses.

Available as part of the video effects section in the Teams app, the Snapchat AR Lenses do not require you to download a separate app or even an add-on. The integration of Snapchat AR Lenses is possible because of Snap’s Camera Kit SDK that Microsoft used.

The Snapchat AR Lenses will be available to Microsoft Teams for Work users only. If you are a personal or education version user, you cannot use these AR filters. Another catch is that you need to be on the older, classic version of Microsoft Teams to be able to use Snapchat’s AR Lenses. The latest Teams client that Microsoft began previewing last month will not support them.

It is unclear how much Teams for Work users would use these filters considering they are supposed to behave professionally in video calls related to their work and these filters do not necessarily give a formal touch to your video. Remember that viral video showing a company’s boss turning into a potato during a Teams meeting? You would not want that happening to you.

Besides new AR filters, Microsoft Teams will also get new animations for video backgrounds soon. The company said it will start rolling out a new dynamic backgrounds feature in May that will let users replace their background “with a dynamic animation for a more immersive virtual environment.”
