She said, “There are as many as 6000 engineers in India and it is a very important design center. We are constantly scaling up our design pools, I was in India six weeks ago and we have a terrific team assisting and working there in our designs. We are totally committed to India, I met top government officials during my recent visit.”
She added that while AMD is totally committed to India, it is excited about the market and Indian engineers’ contribution to chiplets which are at the core of the company’s business.
