AMD sees compute market zooming to $2 trn by 2030, launches new products

Growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) across all spheres is set to take the overall market for compute infrastructure to USD 2 trillion by 2030 from USD 365 billion in 2025, global semiconductor major AMD said on Thursday. Eyeing the 40 per cent compounded annual growth in the market that it expects, the company unveiled a slew of products, including advanced microprocessors at its annual Advancing AI Summit here. Lisa Su, the Chairman and Chief Executive of the company that has been competing with bigger rival Nvidia, said AI had moved beyond chatbots to reasoning models and was now entering the era of agentic AI, where AI systems autonomously execute multi-step tasks, dramatically increasing demand for computing power. "AI is the most important technology of the last 50 years, and frankly, the progress that we're seeing in the industry is just incredible. Every few months, we see something new that was far beyond our imagination," Su said, adding that the industry was still

Semicon 2.0 equity norms to boost chip design investment: IT secy

Provisions under Semicon 2.0 to provide incentives to Indian chip-making firms against equity are expected to drive largescale investment required for the development of advanced chips for technology such as artificial intelligence, a senior government official has said. Under Semicon 2.0, which has a budget of Rs 1.27 lakh crore, the central government has prioritised chip design by Indian companies. In an interview to PTI on Saturday, Ministry of Electronics and IT Secretary S Krishnan said advance chip design may need thousands of crores of investments. "We intend to provide more funding. Otherwise, under design-linked incentive scheme, you get only about Rs 15 crore. Now, to design high-end chips you need Rs 1,000 crore or more. "At the same time, the government can't give everything. This is why you have this combination saying that you get investment from a venture capitalist or somebody who believes that you will be able to bring out this chip, and we will co-invest," he ...
