“AMD setting up its largest design centre in Bengaluru is a testament to the confidence global companies have in India,” the minister said.
The campus is part of the company’s $400 million investment in India over the next five years, announced at ‘Semicon India 2023’.
The campus will serve as a centre of excellence for the development of leadership products across high-performance CPUs for the data centre and PCs, data centre and gaming GPUs, and adaptive SoCs and FPGAs for embedded devices.
