Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is warming to the idea of building a chip manufacturing plant in India, which would be a significant breakthrough for the country's high-tech ambitions.

Advanced Micro Devices on Monday is expected to launch the 'Spider' platform, which combines the company's next-generation quad-core processors, graphics cards and chipsets in one platform to deliver better graphics, performance-per-watt and improved high-definition video.

A dél-koreai vállalat bejelentette, hogy megszünteti elektronikai fogyasztási cikkeinek forgalmazását Japánban; ezentúl csak memóriachipeket és monitorokat szállítanak az ottani gyártóknak.

Memóriachipek gyártására alapított vegyesvállalatot a Sony és az Infineon leányvállalata. A cél a veszteségek lefaragása.

Az új megállapodás mind a nonprofit kezdeményezés, mind a chipgyártó számára komoly stratégiai váltást jelent.
