The addition of the new campus will bring AMD's office count in India to ten sites. More than 6,500 people work for it currently in the nation. By the end of 2028, the future facility will result in the creation of almost 3,000 new engineering positions.



The main rival to Intel is AMD, a global leader in semiconductor chip creation. Though it outsources the production of chips to contract manufacturers like TSMC, unlike some of its main competitors.

World Affairs and Geopolitics- History of Petrodollar Agreement 1973

  Petrodollar System Explained The global elimination of the gold standard led to the emergence of the petrodollar. Since it is denominated in US dollars, the rate of US inflation and, if necessary, the exchange rate on the global stock market will determine how much it is worth. Both the US dollar and the petrocurrency are equally influenced by financial and other factors, with corresponding legal and commercial repercussions. Other nations committed to tying their currencies to the US dollar by signing the Bretton Woods Convention in 1944. However, stagflation led US President Richard Nixon to remove the currency from the gold standard on August 15, 1971. The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) dramatically raised oil prices in 1973 within a short period of time. Petrodollar Agreement 1973 The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, which made the US the only superpower in the materialized unipolar world, is what gave rise to the history of the petrodollar.
