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...

Apple’s upcoming Reality Pro headset may have sharpest 4K displays

While Apple iMac has some of the best-looking screens, they will be a dud before the upcoming Reality Pro mixed reality headset. According to a new report, the headset due for launch at the upcoming WWDC may come with incredible displays with 4K resolution and possibly the highest pixel density on a headset display ever.

Apple’s Reality Pro mixed reality headset may feature two expansive displays, according to Ross Young, chief executive officer of Display Supply Chain Consultants and a credible source for Apple-related leaks. He claimed the displays on the upcoming headset will put a crystal-clear screen in front of each eye, possibly giving the best immersive experience to users.

Young said that Apple’s mixed-reality headset reportedly coming next week will use the following specifications:

— Micro OLED panels

— 1.41-inch display

— a whopping 4,000 PPI pixel density

— more than 5,000 nits of peak brightness

— ProMotion refresh rate of 120Hz or higher

A plain glance at these specifications will make you think this is some outlandish product, but there are several reports and leaks backing up this claim. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman previously said that the headset will come with two “ultra-high-resolution displays,” developed by Sony, and an array of external cameras to allow an AR “pass-through mode.” The report suggested the headset will be able to offer a 3D version of the iPhone’s operating system, iOS, using eye- and hand-tracking systems.

Apple’s mixed-reality headset, Reality Pro, will offer much higher specifications than existing headsets. For reference, the Sony PlayStation VR2 headset comes with a pair of displays with a resolution of 2000×2040 pixels and a pixel density of 850 PPI. The latest model of Microsoft’s HoloLens relatively has a peak brightness of 500 nits. But none of the headsets available on the market use Micro OLED panels, which offer enhanced brightness and inky blacks.

All of these features are bound to give Apple’s headset the upper hand on the market. This, at the same time, will pave the way for innovation in virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) — collectively known as extended reality — technologies. But all of that will not come cheap. Gurman previously said the Apple Reality Pro headset may cost around a whopping $3,000. The advanced technologies that Apple is likely to use could make Reality Pro one of the most expensive headsets.
