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 to introduce per-article charging next month, says Elon Musk

Twitter is making a slew of changes to its platform. In a latest development, Twitter CEO Elon Musk has announced that starting next month, the company will allow publishers to charge their subscribers on a per-article basis on the content that they access through the platform.

“Rolling out next month, this platform will allow media publishers to charge users on a per article basis with one click…Should be a major win-win for both media orgs & the public,” Musk wrote in a tweet.

Furthermore, the Twitter CEO said that this will enable users who would not sign up for a monthly subscription to pay a higher per article price for when they want to read an occasional article. For your reference, Twitter’s monthly tariff on iOS and Android stands at Rs 900, while on the web, it is Rs 650. Similarly, the yearly tariff on Android and iOS is Rs 9,400 while on the web, it stands at Rs 6,800.

The non-subscribers would end up paying a significantly higher amount if their primary mode of reading news stories and articles from specific publications is Twitter. At the same time, it would benefit publishers by giving them another revenue stream.

It is worth noting that Musk hasn’t shared further details into the development. So, we don’t know how much Twitter will charge from the users or when exactly the change will come into effect.

Interestingly, the development comes a day after the Twitter CEO announced that the social media platform will take a 10 percent cut on content subscriptions after the first year. He also said that the company would reduce the subscription fee on iOS and Android from 30 percent to 15 percent in the second year. These developments are a part of the company’s plan to monetise its platform and diversify the revenue stream.
