AMD To Spend $4 Billion Dollars 💰💰

[lil----lil]

Fun Fact: MediaTek is another Taiwanese company, It's crazy how a little tiny island is such a tech power house!

[CoreyKearney]

Here's my question for Lisa, and you Ian. At what point does x86 itself become the bottleneck? And what do we do about it? Pune the legacy instructions? Or move on to something else, like Risk5?

[alihouadef]

I heard they had a new deal with global foundries.

[abdulsadiq]

That potato mascot is the sole reason for the global chip shortage. XD

[peterjansen]

Ask Lisa Su about the limits of parallellization (memory on chip) imposed by heat-accumulation and how to deal with this.
Lisa Su her answer on what her minimum-speficiations are: "I like small".

I’d love to hear about AMDs supercomputer chip side. Are many being sold? and will they be increasing there funds to R&d in this section?

[JarrodsTech]

Taipei time works out well for Australia but don't have to travel for 10 hours 😌

[acasccseea]

Could you have a look at the Samsung RAM that has on board memory processing (for ai stuff I think)? Sounds super interesting

[dorinxtg]

Regarding announcements - based on their previous timeline announcements, they should talk in Computex about their mobile GPUs

[itishappy]

Hi Ian!
Not sure if this is an area of focus for you, but I'd love to see a video focusing on semiconductor metrology. It seems like there's a lot of content out there regarding ASMLs lithography machines (and rightly so, they're incredible), but a relative drought of information regarding the other tools used in the fab processes. Can't build what you can't measure, after all!

[mostlymessingabout]

Lisa what's your minimum specification?

12" 😱


2nm 🤔

[cybervand]

Man when you said amd wifi chip my mind was instantly blown cause if they did develop their own solution, it would be HUGE NEWS. thats ALOT of patents circumvented. And another port of call for consoles, laptops, etc.

[christopherflack]

Glad to see your channel is growing in popularity so rapidly.

[mixk]

I wonder what AMD will announce on Computex. I know it won't be much, but I want to see if AMD is willing to put anything up in the mid- and low-end sectors of their hardware business.

[ianhenriksen]

Question for Lisa Su: Intel and, to a lesser extent, Nvidia have historically been major supporters of software tooling efforts to help make it easier to write performant code for their hardware. Now that AMD has taken a much larger market share, are there plans to expand AMD's work on software frameworks?

[ats]

The major driver for stock buybacks is that it allows for an increased pool of stock for executive stock options. This will be very apparent if you look at these options pre and post buyback...

[SeleniumGlow]

Ask Lisa if they have plans to have an SoC like product with not just CPU and GPU, but other parts like WiFi or maybe I/O controllers like what Apple has done with M1 chips?
For some reason, I think laptops and computing in general will move to a more "mobile like" direction and Intel and AMD both need to have some kind of hardware roadmap for this to compete with the Apples and qualcomms and Mediateks of the industry.

[rayhaanomar]

What is your cat's minimum specification?

[PoleTooke]

Lovely tech news presentation. Subbed.

Sad Linus says hi

[windkithk]

I have read that AMD is cancelling zen 3+ but introducing new stepping of zen 3. Not for more performance but to improve the supply, wonder how accurate it is.
