30% to 70% of work is done in Hyderabad and Bangalore
Depending on the model, between 30% and 70% of every AMD chip is
designed in India. AMD currently operates two major R&D centers
located in Hyderabad and Bangalore, and employs more than 800 engineers
at these sites.
The managing director of AMD India, Dasaradha Gude, says the percentage
of development work conducted at the sites ranges from 30% to 70%, and
this number includes high-end parts such as Barcelona, Shanghai and
Istanbul.
Gude claims Indian R&D was behind more than 70% percent of
development work on the Shanghai core. Furthermore, he expects some
chips in the future will be designed entirely by AMD India. Work on
these products has already started, but Gude said he could not disclose
any more information on them.
No aspect of design and R&D is outsourced, and AMD designes all of its chips in-house, claims Gude.
