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.

Google Meet testing On-the-Go mode to let people manage video calls while walking

Google is reportedly working on a new ‘On-the-Go’ mode for the video communication service ‘Meet’, which will make it safer and easier for users to stay in a video call while walking. This will be an ideal feature for Google Meet users who often have to be on a video call while they are on the go, or simply working out.

As spotted in the latest APK file of Google Meet, the ‘On-the-Go’ mode will change the current interface of the app. There will be two ways to access the ‘On-the-Go’ mode once it is released, reports 9to5Google. Users will receive a prompt to switch to the travel-friendly mode if Google Meet detects that they are walking (using the motion sensors on the phone). Or, users could manually switch to the feature with a new option in the in-call menu.

When activated, the On-the-Go mode disables the camera in the call and stops video feeds from other participants. A new layout with bigger buttons for muting/unmuting the audio, switching the audio output, and raising your hand appear, alongside a disconnect call button. If during the call, you want to go back to the previous interface, tap the “Turn off On-the-Go” button on top.

The new feature is currently in development, which means it is likely available to developers or beta testers for now. There is no information if or when Google will roll out the On-the-Go mode for Meet users.

Earlier this month, the company started to roll out a new viewer mode in its video communication service, which allows users to select “Everyone is a viewer” when creating their Calendar invite.

When using Google Meet for large meetings, designating attendees as “viewers” will help reduce potential meeting distractions, like audio disruptions. Meanwhile, in April this year, the company rolled out a 1080p video call option for Meet users, in an effort to enhance the user experience.
