In a significant move to bolster its presence in India, AMD has inaugurated its largest global design center, the Technostar research and development campus, in Bengaluru. 

This state-of-the-art facility marks a cornerstone of AMD’s $400 million investment in India over the next five years, announced at Semicon 2023.

The Technostar campus, spanning an impressive 500,000 square feet, will house approximately 3,000 engineers dedicated to developing cutting-edge CPUs, GPUs, adaptive SoCs, and FPGAs for both personal computers and data centers.
