By the end of this year, AMD stated, it would launch its new design centre campus in Bengaluru, and within five years, it will add 3,000 new engineering positions.
Papermaster claims that “Our India teams will continue to play a key role in delivering the high-performance and adaptable solutions that support AMD customers worldwide.”
The brand-new facility, which is 500,000 square feet (55,555 square yards) in size, will expand AMD’s office space in India.
AMD processors are utilised in a variety of systems, including data centres and desktop PCs.

In order to prevent supply chain shocks like those experienced during the epidemic, several countries are now striving for the technologies that TSMC and Samsung, a company from South Korea, have perfected.
