Intel had an accountant as CEO for over a decade , offering only marginal tech improvements in their cpus, and relying on monopolic business practices with abusive pricing. It took an MIT EE Ph.D named Lisa Su to knock the giant. It was David vs Goliath, and we consumers are the winners. Thanks Lisa, keep up the good work!
@@samymasta jim keller helped thats for sure, but from what i have seen since amd puts their engineers forward for talking tech, like... if everything they say that is true / they have some good engineers which tbh... if i had the option to work at intel and your job is to make 5 percent improvement, segment your work for multiple pricepoints, or go work at amd and work on newer ideas like chiplets, interconnects, etc... i mean what would you want to do?? personally speaking i think intel's best engineers were probably working in their optane division as that was literally the most groundbreaking thing to come out of intel at that time (it still is really good... but price was prohibitive as a consumer product...)
politics aside, its great that she convinced the currrent administation of the importance of chip making. Its wild that China is taking our video game chips and converting them into government/military.

Jeff Bezos(EE) - Amazon Elon Musk(Physics) - Tesla Tim cook(IE) - Apple Satya (EE) - Microsoft Sundar(ChE) - Google Lisa (EE) - AMD I think intel is falling behind because they have too many business people on the top making stupid decisions.
@@turkishdelight6032 he didn't even get the physics degree lol. He was largely in business degree, and later found out most of his "I have engineering background" was exaggerated. There's this whole thread by capitolhunters that analyzes his claims based on recently disclosed lawsuit info.

That can be said for so many fields. Weapon manufacturing is one. Suits shouldn't make the choices. AMD needs better marketing. Koensiegg is a real recent one.
The video failed to report that it's AMD who design the AMD64 (X86-64) architecture that we still use today. Intel had to drop their own 64 bits implementation and started to make AMD64 compatible CPU instead.
1) The video is for generic public - so no techno-lawing appassionados. 2) If I remember well it was about 64 design (not "implementation"), and Intel had to pay, to AMD, something like patent royalties.
Intel is like a plane. When you start to sink down, it takes time to see the stock fall. But when you're going down, it takes a while to curve the stall and go back up. Intel has had a financial officer as CEO for the past 20 years, and it has allowed AMD to secretly steal more and more market share. Pat Gelsinger is a brand new CEO and now is trying to pull Intel back. He is much better than any other CEO, as he is not scared to make Intel non-profitable for a couple years, if its a long term investment in Intel. He will build its foundry business up and in 5 years they will be much bigger than AMD.
Dr. Su did for AMD what Steve Jobs did for Apple. No exaggeration. BOTH companies were just months away from dissolving. That's how scary it was for both companies.
It was actually Sam Naffziger who helped AMD. He was the one who had to spend so much time trying to convince AMD that chiplets were the way to go in the future.
@@KevDawg1992 yes he did. but it takes a engineer to understand another engineer. had it been any regular management ceo he would have never found his voice
It's healthy to have serious competition, to keep one on his/her toes, something apparently the Chinese --- or at least those they promote to rule over & to make life and death decisions for them --- don't believe in. Anyway, I remember, as noted here, that a few years ago, AMD was known mostly as a player in the gaming industry, whereas Intel ruled everywhere else in high-end computation. And, yes, I still remember a time (working with students) that Apple was so insignificant, so small, it literally begged students, teachers, and schools to take its products. But it caught on soon afterward, both as a luxurious and as a high-end technology everyone who's eccentric, creative, or fashionable wanted... all over the world!
@@navyseal1689 why. Why do you need more than 2companies? Ir serves no real purpose because the best ones arw still gonna be on top. When you consider the cost, not everyone can make chips, even if you own a machine.
Correction: Moore's Law stated that the number of transistors on a chipwould double roughly every 2 years. The narator states it was resistors, which aren't the same.
@@silano360 Not really as rest was accurate. It's something that jumped out to me because of a modest background in electronics. The presenter doesn't have that. Honest mistake
@@ezekielchariot Okay, start with the simplest part. Computers make decisions using on and off signals, i.e. 1 & 0 respectively. Resistors are analog. Transistors in computers are desinged to act digitally turning on and off making all of those compute cycles possible. If you know what both are then there's no confusion as to what is the most important to computing power.
Not only caught, but surpassed Intel. On server and HEDT side, they are so far ahead of Intel. Their desktop CPUs are much more efficient than their Intel counterparts. Dr. Su and her team have done a tremendous job over theast 5 years.

bets part is they could use it on the cache dies of the new gpus, and then with that extra cache not be bandwidth limited so they can then double the core count since they are no where near the reticle limit (like nvidia) since they got that big cache off of there
I'm surprised as I always hear gamers go on for AMD for some time. Asked me back years ago I would say INTEL plus NVIDIAAs AMD was the cheap option. Obviously building a super gaming computer is a lot more nuanced with drivers and software bit I always hear how AMD is either competitive or better.
@@dianapennepacker6854 Its because the enthusiast market is A) A very small portion of sales and B) Most enthusiasts will say AMD and still buy Intel/Nvidia.
Still using the MSi laptop I bought 5 years ago, back then by all the metrics AMD was still lagging in performance, so I specced Intel/NVIDIA, and it still performs well with the SSD package, but are you saying, perhaps in another few years when this rig finally can't play some games I might be better off with AMD?
I’ve been a fan of AMD since I built my first PC in high school way back in 2001. It’s been amazing to watch them grow, and now in my late 30s I have built multiple all AMD PCs and they are in daily use in my home. Now my kids are team red! Keep it up AMD!!!
Excessive heat, bad mathematics, poor working under pressure, glad I leaved amd cpu - unprecedented performance on Intel chips even with 4 cores in most low i3 series says alot.
I built an AMD machine about 20 years ago also. The most unstable wreck I've ever had. All my friends at the time had Intel, no problems for them. I now have an AMD laptop which is fine, but then 3 other Intel PCs. The latest Intel is better than the latest AMD in almost every aspect, in terms of price for performance and pure performance.
@@zenlei8258 Except for I didn't run mine 24 hours nonstop. Whatever the use case, AMD chips were just not stable. Even today, I don't have an AMD CPU but I do have a 6560XT GPU...guess what? A new bug makes it so supporting just dual monitors is glitchy. AMD needs to get their drivers right.
Lisa Su is a token for the industry - only know who she is because IBM granted her status to stave off the calls for IBM to be less male. less white and less old.
When you were talking about AMD's achievements why didn't you mention creating the first X86 64 CPU? That was HUGE. Even today, computers call X86 64 chips AMD64 family even if it's an Intel CPU.
I would’ve liked to see them discuss that too. Even though AMD started off licensing the x86 instruction set that Intel created, it was actually AMD that developed the 64 bit extensions that became AMD64, and they actually license that back to intel! Intel might have been the original creator, but both companies have done a lot to advance the state of the art.
AMD also made the first dual-core desktop CPU (Athlon64 x2). Intel managed to beat them to quad-core only by combining two dual-core CPUs into a single chip package.
@@bhfootballer26 And thank the heavens it happened that way. Imagine a world where Intel was successful with Itanium. It would've been really bad for consumers.
@@bhfootballer26 And that was the result of a giant legal battle between both AMD and Intel. It ended with Intel and AMD cross licencing x86 and x86-64 respectively to the other company.
When AMD released their Zen-based Ryzen processors, it was a literal game changer. I am typing this on my HP Envy x360 with a Ryzen 4700U chip and the performance and battery life you get on it compared to previous AMD devices is mind-blowing.
Intel and AMD will definitely have their share of the market. TSMC is at max capacity and investing in other semiconductor companies will be an absolute power move, I keep increasing my shares manageably. Different chips are good at different things and Nvidia has been very specialised, which leaves other aspects of Al open.
certainly, i had bought NVDA shares at $300, $475 cheap b4 the 10 for 1 split and with huge interest I keep adding, i’m currently doings the same for PLTR, POET and AMD constructively. Best possible way to get ahead, is participating behind top experienced performers.
I agree, i own three business, right now I'm compiling and picking stocks that l'd love to hold on to for a few years before retirement, do you think these stocks would do better over the years? My goal is to have at least $2 million saved for retirement.
I’m widely spread out into ETFs and chip tech stocks, using an enlightened top tier would always attain more interest no matter what. props to Frost hilda, whom takes good care of my holdings giving me an edge to plus interest.
I have a full AMD pc. Their processors and graphics cards are reasonably priced, power efficient and reliable. I'm proud of Team Red for accomplishing so much.
Ironically, i plan to buy an AMD Radeon card for my Intel system because Alder Lake is revolutionary for my music production stuff (Apple is so overpriced but absolutely ridiculous efficency) and NVIDIA costs like a kidney for some reason even for old still descent cards and i will loose so much going chiplets instead of monolithic SoCs. Obviously i always recommended AMD to friends but the Intel Core i7-12700K is an anomaly right now, same for the Ryzen 9 5950X and i5-12600K and 13600K.

I'm going team red for the first time, when the new AMD GPUs drop. Happy for AMD, finally an end to Nvidia's monopoly. Cause Nvidia made one bad move after another recently..
I do as well, granted I bought the 6800 xt while it was insanely over priced haha but at least I could get it. For the last few years buying graphics cards were insanely expensive if you could even find one just crazy. I hope AMD keeps it going I've been a fan since late 90's. I was sad when they were near death for so long. And yeah their new CEO brought them back to life thank goodness, keeping intel honest and actually progressing because without competition we would still be on pentium 4 and 64mb of ram.
Lisa Su is exceptional engineer, amazing leader and an extremely accomplished CEO. Everyone's opinion is different. But I think repeated mention of female CEO seems a bit derogatory. It's almost as if, she is a good CEO, because she is a female or she was chosen as CEO, because she was female. I would rather have them mention CEO only and let us see for ourselves that she is a woman and women can be good CEOs (Not everyone is a fraud like Elizabeth Holmes).
Highest paid CEO on earth full stop.. left that one out.. now thats impressive.. she wins.. vs everyone.. male and female. In the $$$ department.. shes also related to the Nvidia CEO
Dr. Lisa Su is probably one of the most capable leaders that AMD has had over its lifetime. I love listening to her announcements and interviews to gain an idea of where the company is going. Over the 34 years I've been involved with PCs, I've gone back and forth between Intel and AMD. But since Dr. Su arrived and the products that have been introduced during her tenure, I've become a fanboy of AMD and use their CPUs exclusively. Keep on innovating AMD!

Media need to stop talking about Moore's Law because it is a commercial term developped by Inten founder Gordon Moore to embelish its ability to advanced technology. It is a sales pitch not an actual law with solid foundation.
I have more leaders outside compared to otherwise , I send people like sheep and goat targeting every other person everyday , so much of abuse , harassment, trouble their lives, families etc etc for any petty issue I hear or see. That's how I and my company works. Amd works in a different fashion , it can't be that fraud and abusive , otherwise Lisa su wouldn't be the ceo of such company
AMD's valuation was down to 4 to 5 billion in circa 2014-2015. It has been such a remarkable turn around for a company that was incurring increasing debt and on the verge of bankruptcy.
As someone passionate about such technologies, and someone working in the EDA industry (helping such companies to develop their chips), I commend, how accurate and thorough the content of this video is. At no point was I thinking, that something was oversimplified or wrong, despite being directed at more of a general audience.
The Zen architecture was a small miracle for AMD. It's genuinly awesome that Intel is not the only survivor in the field. The concurrency has driven innovation forward in recent years (for example Infinity Fabric for AMD, Hybrid Architecture for Intel).
AMD surviving isn't 'genuinely awesome' as Intel needed a competitor else it would have been broken up due to competition rules.. What is awesome is Nvidia are worth more than AMD & Intel combined without having 'any skin' in the 'duo-monopoly' x86 market..

My first self-built computer was an AMD Athlon X4, then I built a new PC with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, then upgraded to a Xeon platform, then I went back to AMD FX-8350 Bulldozers, after going through three fried Bulldozer CPUs I switched over to Intel Core i9-9900K.

ASML is the only firm in the world capable of making the highly-complex machines that are needed to manufacture the most advanced chips. These EUV machines, which cost approximately $140 million each, are sold to a handful chipmakers giants including TSMC, Samsung and Intel. With a market value of around $350 billion, Dutch-headquartered ASML is a little-known tech juggernaut that’s set to keep on growing in line with the insatiable demand for semiconductors.The 37-year-old company, which has over 31,000 staff, is the only firm in the world capable of making the highly-complex machines that are needed to manufacture the most advanced chips. These machines, which cost approximately $140 million each, shine exceptionally narrow beams of light onto silicon wafers that have been treated with “photoresist” chemicals. Intricate patterns are created on the wafer where the light comes into contact with the chemicals, which are carefully laid out beforehand. ASML sells the relatively rare EUV machines to a handful chipmaking giants including TSMC, Samsung and Intel. Each machine reportedly has over 100,000 components and it takes 40 freight containers or four jumbo jets to ship. Last year, ASML sold just 31 of these enormous pieces of equipment, according to its financials. It has sold over 100 in total.
@@nlx78 Technically, ASML don't really 'make' those EUV machines. They have partners (like Zeiss who makes the mirrors for the EUV machine), that supply them the parts or software for the EUV machine and assembled them in the Netherlands.

That's why i built an Intel Alder Lake Core i7-12700K ( made in the USA) system and cheap MSI Z690 motherboard without the nonsense from Taiwan and China specially with overpriced graphics cards (also made on Taiwan), Intel UHD graphics is so insanely underrated saving me from these difficult times.
They left out where AMD got the money to turn the ship around. Dr. Lisa Su doesn't care about national security. She just wanted that sweet sweet government money. First, sell trade secrets to China then convince the US government to give you money due to national security threats... from China.

From The Motley Fool 🤔 "AMD stock fell to a low of $1.61 per share in July 2015. At this level, $5,000 would have bought an investor around 3,105 shares.

It will be hard to shake Intel's grip on mass produced CPUs. Intel is in cahoot with Microsoft. All Intel chips are developed around running Microsoft software. I've worked for many employers over the years and never have I used a company computer using AMD cpus. It will be an uphill battle for AMD.
AMD ready to be the leader. Its share price will grow by leaps and bounds to reflect its growing strength. Wouldn't want to miss out this potential multi-bagger.
AMD has been wonderfully successful at targeting the gaming market. They are in every single Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One and Xbox X and S... that's a lot of high end chips sold. Not to mention they / the video chip company they bought, were in most preceding Nintendo consoles before the Switch. Again. That's a lot of chips sold.
The lawsuit between AMD and Intel was a bigger deal, they mutually agreed to license each others tech. AMD got 32 bit architecture, and Intel got AMD-64 and together it was x86. And combined they sued anyone that tried to intrude into the market through patents.
This whole video's title can be answered really quickly: AMD passed Intel in how small they could make their transistors. It really is this simple. I'm sure a lot of other things happened that also contributed to AMD 'catching up' to Intel, but none were bigger (or smaller) than AMD's transistor size compared to Intel. There is simple almost no substitute for smaller transistors. Smaller transistors allow for lower power consumption, lower costs due to using less silicon, and higher performance (mostly through higher clock speeds). Yes, I'm glazing over a ton of smaller things, but zooming out, this is THE major reason AMD caught up to Intel.
AMD is one of my biggest positions - one of the few companies I have an exceptionally strong conviction on. Huge prospects for the future growth. It's one of the few companies *next to Tesla * that I am genuinely excited about in terms of future returns. Lisa Sue is an impressive, CEO humble, good at communicating, and executes !
The first computer I ever built as a teenager had an AMD Athlon 3200+ and and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. I was so proud of that computer lol. The original Far Cry, Doom 3 and Half Life 2 were mind blowing to me at the time as a kid coming from console gaming. So cool to see this company grow after all these years. Being rewarded for putting consumers first by being an incredible budget option.
This has been going on for years. AMD were the favorite before when their chips were better value than intel but then intel got their head down and came back into the fore. It will keep flip-flopping but i guess thats what good competition is for the market
Competition is what the world has to have in order to keep advancing and its why capitalism and the US is driving everything. We know what Intel does if there is no competition and even if there is if they play dirty. They they at the top despite it by paying people of because they have the money to do so. Intel right now is hurting lets hope Intel gets their act together so Asia doesn't continue to rule the market with advanced chip tech.
AMD also made major architectural errors with Bulldozer, which wasn’t even a true multiprocessor CPU (but claimed to be). For six years they fell significantly behind Intel, but they made a great acquisition in Jim Keller who designed the core of the Ryzen architecture.
I remember back in the day when I bought the first AMD, people used to tell me, how AMD was trash back in the day, and how it will be nothing how Intel is far superior, I told people, that AMD will overtake Intel. Now the tables have changed, people do not know about chips. People though AMD would be like Cyrix back in the day. This is what happens when you have a CEO who is an engineer who shares visions and experience. She took a big gamble and went all in. She brought AMD back to life.
When I first wanted to build myself a new gaming pc back in 2014-2015 as a teen, I remember looking at options and seeing that Intel + Nvidia were the only ones that made sense. I just recently finished building my pc and i have AMD CPU and GPU, not only do they perform extremely well, but in latin american markets, the Nvidia/Intel tax is just too high. Im just really impressed of how much value I could get with AMD and how far they have come. Kudos to Dr Su and all the AMD team!
Watching this on my Ryzen 7 5800X sy6stem I built a couple of years back. Currently considering upgrading to a Ryzen 9 CPU. And I haven't considered an Intel product in years!
I remember when ryzen hit the market in 2017, I told everyone who would listen to buy stock in AMD. Everyone who listened has made at least 5x on their money and if they got out a year ago it would have been 16x.
AMD was great long time ago, then Intel got better, now it is AMD again and I am sure Intel will do better in the not so far future. It is just a cycle but probably new generations doesn't know about this
Honestly not a huge AMD fan and I couldn't care less whether their CEO happens to be a woman or a man. But what Lisa Su has managed to accomplish with AMD is nothing short of amazing and I'm sure she'll go down as one of the greatest CEOs of all time, she deserves it.
I do almost all of my work in HPC environments and I just recently lucked into a job where I have a decent cluster almost all to myself. It's all AMD CPUs and is the best machine I've worked with. I used to be skeptical of AMD but not anymore.
AMD is amazing. I've been a supporter of them since their 586 upgrade chip for 486 systems back in 1996 or 97. I've used AMD in almost every system that I've ever owned since, including my video graphics cards since they bought ATI. Good quality, integration and performance per cost.
@@mintymus How much is far less in your eyes? Because as far as I'm concerned AMD has never fallen below 40-50% of the performance in any given generation of their competitors even in their worst times even with the FX series blunder or even better Vega...To be completely honest the fact that AMD created the 64 bit instruction set back in 2003, along with true independent multicore CPU's can't be ignored. AMD definitely wasn't good in the CPU department from 2009-2016, and GPU hardware from 2016-2020.
I've been an AMD guy since the day I built my first PC with a K6. Great performance for the price point. And nowadays, nobody can say they're cheaper because they're slower. Nope. They scream. And their new top end GPUs are a wakeup call to Nvidia as well, who like intel have been gouging and taking the public for granted for too long.
Lets hope amd keeps it up, I also now have an all amd PC and was proud to do so. Loved them in the early 2000's but they were always behind and with some weird problem. I do hope though they can get more chips from the US and not hurt the US by outsourcing because China is a real threat.
Intel literally got lazy in next gen chips & AMD was pushing the limits as a smalller company. Now they're respected more within the tech community because they give you a product worth your money
so for those wondering about the x86 legal battle, x86 isn't from intel, its actually from ibm, intel was contracted to make the chips, but were required to find a second source supplier, enter amd. under this license, amd was supposed to get designs from intel and fabricate them, but intel only gave out their first gen chips, and stopped after that. amd out of necessity reverse engineered the chips, typically creating a better variant than intel mostly due to clock speed increases. amd after their reverse engineering years actually started making better chips than intel for a short time, roughly late windows xp, intel started to outpace them, and amd released a risky generation that blew up in their face (bulldozer). after that, you get into modern cpus, fleshed out in this video. video on bulldozer explained: ruclips.net/video/PgejkSWzvNs/видео.html
It's a good time to look at upgrading if you were put off by the high prices and shortages during 2020 and 2021. Prices are coming back down and the performance of some of the new tech is insanely good. I just switched from an old Intel i7 system to the new AMD Ryzen 9 cpu and I'm seeing big performance improvements in games that I thought were GPU bound. The other big revalation for me was PCI-E 4 class M.2 NVME SSDs (The "hard drive"). I installed one with 7000MB (Yes Bytes, not bits!) read, 6000MB write. Software install speeds etc are so much faster than they were, and this is PCI-E 4 storage, the motherboard also has the PCI-5 storage support which will be even faster when I upgrade in a few years (Drives are just entering the market so I'd expect high prices for a while on PCI-E 4 M.2 drives).
Of Course, replacing an old i7 Intel system with a newer system will also improve performance. That's not so amazing. This is just an AMD promotion video. Want to see more an independent view. Intel and NVDIA are improving as well. iX, 12th and 13 gen, RTX technology. Maybe AMD is a better choice with price and system performance for the big companies where prices does matter. AMD is absolute at the top if prices doesn't matter. Have a complete Intel based 12th gen system and a RTX videocard. It came not at top, but 3th place is not so bad. AMD was at the top. But if you look at the prices? It was much cheaper to choose for Intel and NVIDIA system than for an all AMD system with top products. Note: PCI-E 4 class M.2 NVME? Just choose Samsung NVME M.2's much higher performance than the reads/writes you have stated .
Yes, the PCIe 4 M.2 NVME SSDs are amazing beasts. I still look at them in awe, a product about the size and thickness of a stick of chewing gum capable of holding TBs of data available at blazing speeds. I have two slots on my motherboard populated with M.2 drives (one the boot drive and software drive, the second drive is where I store all my data files). I retired my last HDD nearly two years ago now.
Nah they never said it was impossible. Intel saw it as an opportunity to change to a new instruction set architecture in order to get out of these licensing deals with AMD and Cyrix dated back to IBM requiring a second source. A new ISA would not have the same issue which was being battled in court at the time with Intel trying to kick AMD out. Note, the deal was that AMD and Cyrix would get a copy of Intels CPU design like i386, not just that they could use x86 for their own design. Intel no longer wanted to give the CPU designs and AMD had to reverse engineer it instead (Always with better performance). But while Intel was making the horrid VLIW instruction set architecture called Itanium, AMD was working on their very first Micro-architecture of their own design still based on x86, the performance was much better than Intels Itanium and pretty much determined the choice. To move into the 64 bit space AMD had changed x86 to be 64 bit (not uncommon to extend x86 with new features, this wasn't that complex). This extension was called x86-64, Intel and AMD made a cross licensing deal where any extensions made by either party would be shared for free to keep things compatible. Intel didn't do x86-64 because they wanted a monopoly, and the only way to do that was make a new ISA. Unfortunately they couldn't make it perform any good.
TSMC updated that to $40 Billion now. Like I don' already have enough work to do with Intel, it's never been busier than right now in the semiconductor tool design and manufacturing business. Production is expected to ramp up by 6X's what we're capable now to meet the demand.
actually intel is 10x bigger. AMD: Number of employees 15,500 (2021) Intel: Number of employees 121,100 (2021) Nvidia: Number of employees 22,473 (2022) amd caught up with both. with intel on processors, and nvidia on graphics cards, at the same time. the CEO of amd was the main reason.
This is what happens when companies refrain from putting business majors and accountants in charge of companies, all they do is look short term. Put an engineer in charge of your semiconductor company and look what happens
Switched to Ryzen on the 2nd gen and havent regretted it. Have a third gen in my rig now and the 2nd gen is still perfectly fine. Well done AMD, keep it up
I'm currently planning my PC build... I was undecided between AMD and NVIDIA... this video made up my mind... Team red it is!! Can't beat the performance to value 👌

FOH!😂 Before I make purchases like that, I like to research and do my due diligence.. this Video was probably suggested because not only do I love tech, I also invest in real estate... does that at least count for the "etc" part Lil buddy? 😂😂😂🤙🏿
I've been watching the AMD vs Nvidia and Intel race for a number of years. Intel f'ed up by cutting the R&D budget to their fabrication process which caused their 10nm and 7nm processes to become delayed for +4 years. In that time AMD caught up to Intel with their Zen architecture. AMD has done a wonderful job of improving Zen with each new product line Generation..... while Intel is still kicking the Pentium III can down the road.... which has slowly evolved to become the modern day Core i9 and i7 processor. When AMD released Zen 3, Intel's processors were flat out beaten in every metric imaginable. The real problem is Intel had been run by bean counters and people that were more interested in paying out dividends to shareholders, rather than come out with anything good. Hopefully Pat will have enough sense to have Intel create a brand new CPU architecture from the ground up. AMD had their back to the wall and took the ultimate risk with Zen, a risk which paid off. AMD had nothing to lose when it did. AMD has taken all kinds of risks over these last 6 years, whereas Intel is sticking to the safe and reliable Core architecture. The only risk Intel has taken is with dedicated GPU's which isn't paying off so far.
At 10:56 it mentions Moore's law which doubles the number of resistors every 2 years, yeh well, what could you expect from a journalist. As a chip designer back when the term first got traction, it used to be the number feutures per given area, but then just became the number of transisters. Features is a far better fit because it follows the production process and lithography limits, but regular folks wouldn't know what a feature is. A transister used to make a DRAM or SRAM or logic gate are very different in shape so not very relevant either.
Isn't it a lovely thought that WWIII could actually be fought over your PS5, Mac Pro or your 7900XTX! /s I know TSMC and Taiwan are more important than that, but for 95% of people, that's what it'll boil down to.
@@EbonySaints Most GPUs are made in China which is why he said "bigger problems to worry about than getting the latest graphics cards". SOME GPUs are made in Taiwan, most are made in China. Probably every air cooler that's made to go onto the GPU, and these are VERY custom air coolers since their tolerances have to be VERY exacting come from China. Each model of each company is a different air cooler. Just replacing the ability to manufacture air coolers would take years of work, probably by German companies where this kind of technology also exists, but they still do their manufacturing in China for the most part.
Like, I will actually share this on social media it is so well done. Nothing I didn't know already but a shocking quantity of stuff I do for a single short video lol. Lisa Su is under appreciated as a genius leader so it's nice to see her getting some recognition.
They left out where AMD got the money to turn the ship around. Dr. Lisa Su doesn't care about national security. She just wanted that sweet sweet government money. First, sell trade secrets to China then convince the US government to give you money due to national security threats... from China.
Ryzen was an Evolutionary Microprocessor in 2017 and Intel was left Chasing it's tail. They are catching up and I think part of that is because they have also hired TSMC to fab their chips for them. As for the GPU side of things, NVIDIA has seen the light and is also doing Chiplets. I hear rumors that the 5000 series cards will have this feature although that is not confirmed yet. And since chip manufacturing is massively expensive they have also shifted manufacturing to TSMC as well. I absolutely love the RYZEN processor. I built 2 computers with 1700X CPUs, A 2700X for a buddy of mine, A5600G for my stepmother and the machine I am on now has a 5800X, plus I bought a laptop with a 4600H. I am also using the Radeon 6700X video card on this machine. I couldn't get a 3rd party card due to inventory shortages so I got a reference card direct from AMD. Still a great product and I cant wait to buy the new card as soon as the market stabilizes a bit.
I used to invest in AMD in the early '00s. It's price cycle was so regular, it was a rational investment to make when it dipped. Now, forget about it. I wish I played the long game in AMD. But I never thought they would ever be anything but an also-ran to Intel.
Yeah I wish I bought into AMD in 2016. I'd be pulling out my investment next year after they have a very successful run with Zen 4 product and their server business which is driving their value.
I remember growing up with Intellivision, Atari 2600, Colecovision, DOS 3.0,ect. The first time I heard of AMD was via some old NAND/NOR gates. Intel had the Goverment contracts back then, Despite AMD being out so long. One day In 2013 during an Easter sale, I purchased the A85600K Limited Black Edition Series From AMD. I used that processor till January of last yr. I had to use a competitors GPU due to driver issues, but going from a 5600k to the 3900x was amazing!. "Bills Permitting" ,I'd like to build a total 7950x/XTX build if there are no driver issues. Go Team AMD! \m/(>_
I have a laptop with an AMD which died within 2 months of purchase. I put it to one side, hoping to be able to fix it. I was unable to find the problem. Once out of warranty I took it to some private fixit people who spent 2 months trying to find what was wrong. The CPU was blowing up the internal power supply. Charged me a lot of money to tell me it was not reparable. Never going AMD again... I've had my Thinkpad (with Intel) for 5 years now and never a glitch.
Intel had an accountant as CEO for over a decade , offering only marginal tech improvements in their cpus, and relying on monopolic business practices with abusive pricing. It took an MIT EE Ph.D named Lisa Su to knock the giant. It was David vs Goliath, and we consumers are the winners. Thanks Lisa, keep up the good work!

The video failed to report that it's AMD who design the AMD64 (X86-64) architecture that we still use today. Intel had to drop their own 64 bits implementation and started to make AMD64 compatible CPU instead.

1) The video is for generic public - so no techno-lawing appassionados.
2) If I remember well it was about 64 design (not "implementation"), and Intel had to pay, to AMD, something like patent royalties.
Ok? And?
This is what happens when you have a CEO who is an engineer. If a CEO speaks its business language they will perform well.
Intel is like a plane. When you start to sink down, it takes time to see the stock fall. But when you're going down, it takes a while to curve the stall and go back up. Intel has had a financial officer as CEO for the past 20 years, and it has allowed AMD to secretly steal more and more market share. Pat Gelsinger is a brand new CEO and now is trying to pull Intel back. He is much better than any other CEO, as he is not scared to make Intel non-profitable for a couple years, if its a long term investment in Intel. He will build its foundry business up and in 5 years they will be much bigger than AMD.

Just upgraded my 2018 PC with a Ryzen R5 5600. Unbelievable performance and value. Really am glad AMD is around to keep Intel on their toes!
It's healthy to have serious competition, to keep one on his/her toes, something apparently the Chinese --- or at least those they promote to rule over & to make life and death decisions for them --- don't believe in.
Anyway, I remember, as noted here, that a few years ago, AMD was known mostly as a player in the gaming industry, whereas Intel ruled everywhere else in high-end computation.
And, yes, I still remember a time (working with students) that Apple was so insignificant, so small, it literally begged students, teachers, and schools to take its products. But it caught on soon afterward, both as a luxurious and as a high-end technology everyone who's eccentric, creative, or fashionable wanted... all over the world!
really back in the 2000 nobody would buy a PC with AMD processor.

Oh, I didn't hear the narrator saying resistor. It must be my brain using auto-correct and assumed she said transistor. 🤣
@@tommanseau6277 How would the presenter who you suggest has no "modest background in electronics" even know to even utter the word resistor?
@@ezekielchariot Okay, start with the simplest part. Computers make decisions using on and off signals, i.e. 1 & 0 respectively. Resistors are analog.

If you know what both are then there's no confusion as to what is the most important to computing power.

@@rajuaditya1914 read buddy read! OP said hedt/server space.
AMD's V-cache technology is crazy good, waiting for the next gen already
bets part is they could use it on the cache dies of the new gpus, and then with that extra cache not be bandwidth limited so they can then double the core count since they are no where near the reticle limit (like nvidia) since they got that big cache off of there
Finally, AMD is getting the attention it deserves.
I'm surprised as I always hear gamers go on for AMD for some time. Asked me back years ago I would say INTEL plus NVIDIAAs AMD was the cheap option.

I would’ve liked to see them discuss that too. Even though AMD started off licensing the x86 instruction set that Intel created, it was actually AMD that developed the 64 bit extensions that became AMD64, and they actually license that back to intel! Intel might have been the original creator, but both companies have done a lot to advance the state of the art.
AMD also made the first dual-core desktop CPU (Athlon64 x2). Intel managed to beat them to quad-core only by combining two dual-core CPUs into a single chip package.

Dr Su is a Business genius and a true engineer, all tech companies should have engineers on the top.
Best way to summarize all the products that AMD offers and they are world class... Congratulations Lisa Su 👏
For AMD, getting out of the foundry business was a good move, but I have to say, I find it frightening that the entire world is so dependent on a single foundry company, with all but 1 fab facility in Taiwan and China.
And don't forget, only one real factory for making machines that can make chips. Lookup --> ASML the Netherlands.
ASML is the only firm in the world capable of making the highly-complex machines that are needed to manufacture the most advanced chips. These EUV machines, which cost approximately $140 million each, are sold to a handful chipmakers giants including TSMC, Samsung and Intel. With a market value of around $350 billion, Dutch-headquartered ASML
is a little-known tech juggernaut that’s set to keep on growing in line with the insatiable demand for semiconductors.The 37-year-old company, which has over 31,000 staff, is the only firm in the world capable of making the highly-complex machines that are needed to manufacture the most advanced chips.
These machines, which cost approximately $140 million each, shine exceptionally narrow beams of light onto silicon wafers that have been treated with “photoresist” chemicals. Intricate patterns are created on the wafer where the light comes into contact with the chemicals, which are carefully laid out beforehand. ASML sells the relatively rare EUV machines to a handful chipmaking giants including TSMC, Samsung and Intel. Each machine reportedly has over 100,000 components and it takes 40 freight containers or four jumbo jets to ship. Last year, ASML sold just 31 of these enormous pieces of equipment, according to its financials. It has sold over 100 in total.
Well the pandemic was a wake up call. This is why the Chip Act was created.
@@nlx78 Technically, ASML don't really 'make' those EUV machines. They have partners (like Zeiss who makes the mirrors for the EUV machine), that supply them the parts or software for the EUV machine and assembled them in the Netherlands. Majority of it shares are owned by US financial firms, which probably explains why the US government was able to get ASML to ban the sale of their EUV machines to China.
That's why i built an Intel Alder Lake Core i7-12700K ( made in the USA) system and cheap MSI Z690 motherboard without the nonsense from Taiwan and China specially with overpriced graphics cards (also made on Taiwan), Intel UHD graphics is so insanely underrated saving me from these difficult times.
It was Lisa Su and Ryzen that helped elevate AMD to new heights. I'm still using an original Ryzen CPU and it's still rocking.
I upgraded my 1600x after 5 years to a 5600 for only 150€. Great improvement.
This was surprisingly informative. Great job.
They left out where AMD got the money to turn the ship around. Dr. Lisa Su doesn't care about national security. She just wanted that sweet sweet government money. First, sell trade secrets to China then convince the US government to give you money due to national security threats... from China.
The focus of the piece is on AMD and Lisa Su, as it should. But the reporter / producer Katie Tarasov deserves a lot of credit for the production value.
I watch CNBC a lot, but don't recall seeing Tarasov or her name before. I hope to see more of her pieces in the future.
I pray for AMD to give us a CUDA alternative for machine learning. Please give NVidia some competition in this space!
This this this!
The only reason I won't buy an AMD GPU's because all the programs I use for work require CUDA to work. I would love nothing more than for AMD to provide a competent alternative to CUDA!
NV's RTX40 series (4080 16/4070TI) is just a cash grab. Extreme greedy this time. NV is now even trying to milk average consumers besides workstations.
We already have ROCm, it works well, we just need software support which is well outside the control of AMD.
We need an affordable alternative for cuda core, only AMD can deliver that.
Exactly!! Nvidia's 40 series is prirced like an insult to us consumers. Go AMD! (and intel)
Love AMD and their revival under Dr Su has been so amazing. She is truly a visionary and a revolutionary in the PC space. I have tons of RYZEN chips.
@10:54 moors law should reference transistors not resistors.
I remember when AMD’s stock price was around $5 a share; I can’t remember the year but; I think it was in the early 2000s.
From The Motley Fool 🤔
"AMD stock fell to a low of $1.61 per share in July 2015. At this level, $5,000 would have bought an investor around 3,105 shares. At the current price of roughly $91 per share, this investment would hold a value of about $282,640 -- a return of approximately 5,550%. This far exceeds the roughly 110% return for the S&P 500 over the same period. Also, the stock may have more room to grow as many analysts still consider AMD a hot growth stock."
If I invent a time machine, I could go back and buy some.

AMD's ceo is an intelligent woman who speak opently about the company's products and plans. Kudos to her
It will be hard to shake Intel's grip on mass produced CPUs. Intel is in cahoot with Microsoft. All Intel chips are developed around running Microsoft software. I've worked for many employers over the years and never have I used a company computer using AMD cpus. It will be an uphill battle for AMD.
AMD ready to be the leader. Its share price will grow by leaps and bounds to reflect its growing strength.
Wouldn't want to miss out this potential multi-bagger.
No mention of cyrix which is kinda sad.
AMD has been wonderfully successful at targeting the gaming market. They are in every single Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One and Xbox X and S... that's a lot of high end chips sold. Not to mention they / the video chip company they bought, were in most preceding Nintendo consoles before the Switch. Again. That's a lot of chips sold.
I'm surprised they didn't mention that, the PS4 and Xbox One really helped AMD get through the hard times so they could get Zen 1 out the door
There is plenty of poor people to keep AMD employed you are correct.
The lawsuit between AMD and Intel was a bigger deal, they mutually agreed to license each others tech. AMD got 32 bit architecture, and Intel got AMD-64 and together it was x86. And combined they sued anyone that tried to intrude into the market through patents.

You beat me to it.
@@ee4life623 Thanks for letting maxpham know that. Now I don't have to. ;)
This whole video's title can be answered really quickly: AMD passed Intel in how small they could make their transistors. It really is this simple.
I'm sure a lot of other things happened that also contributed to AMD 'catching up' to Intel, but none were bigger (or smaller) than AMD's transistor size compared to Intel. There is simple almost no substitute for smaller transistors. Smaller transistors allow for lower power consumption, lower costs due to using less silicon, and higher performance (mostly through higher clock speeds).
Yes, I'm glazing over a ton of smaller things, but zooming out, this is THE major reason AMD caught up to Intel.
Morris Chang, Lisa Su, Jensen Huang are like Taiwans top rock stars of semiconductor technology, or their Einsteins dare I say.
Love Dr. Lisa. Shes a great CEO. She sold me 3 different CPUs in 2 years lol.
AMD is one of my biggest positions - one of the few companies I have an exceptionally strong conviction on. Huge prospects for the future growth. It's one of the few companies *next to Tesla * that I am genuinely excited about in terms of future returns. Lisa Sue is an impressive, CEO humble, good at communicating, and executes !

That's it sorry.
8:45 the RGB in the background: I am the MVP
I would have never bought my first laptop if it weren't for AMD. Specs don't lie though.
The first computer I ever built as a teenager had an AMD Athlon 3200+ and and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. I was so proud of that computer lol. The original Far Cry, Doom 3 and Half Life 2 were mind blowing to me at the time as a kid coming from console gaming.
So cool to see this company grow after all these years. Being rewarded for putting consumers first by being an incredible budget option.
This has been going on for years. AMD were the favorite before when their chips were better value than intel but then intel got their head down and came back into the fore. It will keep flip-flopping but i guess thats what good competition is for the market
Competition is what the world has to have in order to keep advancing and its why capitalism and the US is driving everything. We know what Intel does if there is no competition and even if there is if they play dirty. They they at the top despite it by paying people of because they have the money to do so. Intel right now is hurting lets hope Intel gets their act together so Asia doesn't continue to rule the market with advanced chip tech.
AMD also made major architectural errors with Bulldozer, which wasn’t even a true multiprocessor CPU (but claimed to be). For six years they fell significantly behind Intel, but they made a great acquisition in Jim Keller who designed the core of the Ryzen architecture.
AMD has always been a good choice for poor people.
I remember back in the day when I bought the first AMD, people used to tell me, how AMD was trash back in the day, and how it will be nothing
how Intel is far superior, I told people, that AMD will overtake Intel. Now the tables have changed, people do not know about chips. People though
AMD would be like Cyrix back in the day. This is what happens when you have a CEO who is an engineer who shares visions and experience. She
took a big gamble and went all in. She brought AMD back to life.

When I first wanted to build myself a new gaming pc back in 2014-2015 as a teen, I remember looking at options and seeing that Intel + Nvidia were the only ones that made sense. I just recently finished building my pc and i have AMD CPU and GPU, not only do they perform extremely well, but in latin american markets, the Nvidia/Intel tax is just too high. Im just really impressed of how much value I could get with AMD and how far they have come. Kudos to Dr Su and all the AMD team!
The quality of this CEO is my main reason for investing in AMD ownership (stock.)
Watching this on my 5700x pc. What AMD did for CPU advancement and affordability is nothing short of amazing
Watching this on my Ryzen 7 5800X sy6stem I built a couple of years back. Currently considering upgrading to a Ryzen 9 CPU. And I haven't considered an Intel product in years!
I remember when ryzen hit the market in 2017, I told everyone who would listen to buy stock in AMD. Everyone who listened has made at least 5x on their money and if they got out a year ago it would have been 16x.
AMD was great long time ago, then Intel got better, now it is AMD again and I am sure Intel will do better in the not so far future. It is just a cycle but probably new generations doesn't know about this
Great journalistic work here. You captured a complex topic with easy words in a 15 Min video. I am genuinely impressed.
Lisa Su not just Businesswoman but she also an Engineer. 👩🏻🏭
Honestly not a huge AMD fan and I couldn't care less whether their CEO happens to be a woman or a man. But what Lisa Su has managed to accomplish with AMD is nothing short of amazing and I'm sure she'll go down as one of the greatest CEOs of all time, she deserves it.
I do almost all of my work in HPC environments and I just recently lucked into a job where I have a decent cluster almost all to myself. It's all AMD CPUs and is the best machine I've worked with. I used to be skeptical of AMD but not anymore.
AMD is amazing. I've been a supporter of them since their 586 upgrade chip for 486 systems back in 1996 or 97. I've used AMD in almost every system that I've ever owned since, including my video graphics cards since they bought ATI. Good quality, integration and performance per cost.
As a result, your builds were far less technically advanced over the years...including now.
They kinda sucked between 2010 and 2017. The Bulldozer architecture was flawed and was simply not competitive with Intel’s lines during that period.
@@mintymus How much is far less in your eyes? Because as far as I'm concerned AMD has never fallen below 40-50% of the performance in any given generation of their competitors even in their worst times even with the FX series blunder or even better Vega...To be completely honest the fact that AMD created the 64 bit instruction set back in 2003, along with true independent multicore CPU's can't be ignored. AMD definitely wasn't good in the CPU department from 2009-2016, and GPU hardware from 2016-2020.

Congratulations AMD for exceeding INTEL.
Love how their logo has not changed.
I've been an AMD guy since the day I built my first PC with a K6. Great performance for the price point. And nowadays, nobody can say they're cheaper because they're slower. Nope. They scream. And their new top end GPUs are a wakeup call to Nvidia as well, who like intel have been gouging and taking the public for granted for too long.
Lets hope amd keeps it up, I also now have an all amd PC and was proud to do so. Loved them in the early 2000's but they were always behind and with some weird problem. I do hope though they can get more chips from the US and not hurt the US by outsourcing because China is a real threat.
And now AMD is both slower and more expensive...lol
Fond memories of my first DIY PC with K6-233 over the P233 back in 1998 - price for performance being the determining factor - I kept that one!
Just tell us you’re poor it’s alright we won’t judge you.
LISA rocks!!! She's an amazing CEO. Oh..and a beast! 😁
Intel literally got lazy in next gen chips & AMD was pushing the limits as a smalller company. Now they're respected more within the tech community because they give you a product worth your money
so for those wondering about the x86 legal battle, x86 isn't from intel, its actually from ibm, intel was contracted to make the chips, but were required to find a second source supplier, enter amd. under this license, amd was supposed to get designs from intel and fabricate them, but intel only gave out their first gen chips, and stopped after that. amd out of necessity reverse engineered the chips, typically creating a better variant than intel mostly due to clock speed increases. amd after their reverse engineering years actually started making better chips than intel for a short time, roughly late windows xp, intel started to outpace them, and amd released a risky generation that blew up in their face (bulldozer). after that, you get into modern cpus, fleshed out in this video.
video on bulldozer explained:
ruclips.net/video/PgejkSWzvNs/видео.html
It's a good time to look at upgrading if you were put off by the high prices and shortages during 2020 and 2021.
Prices are coming back down and the performance of some of the new tech is insanely good.
I just switched from an old Intel i7 system to the new AMD Ryzen 9 cpu and I'm seeing big performance improvements in games that I thought were GPU bound.
The other big revalation for me was PCI-E 4 class M.2 NVME SSDs (The "hard drive"). I installed one with 7000MB (Yes Bytes, not bits!) read, 6000MB write. Software install speeds etc are so much faster than they were, and this is PCI-E 4 storage, the motherboard also has the PCI-5 storage support which will be even faster when I upgrade in a few years (Drives are just entering the market so I'd expect high prices for a while on PCI-E 4 M.2 drives).
Of Course, replacing an old i7 Intel system with a newer system will also improve performance. That's not so amazing. This is just an AMD promotion video. Want to see more an independent view. Intel and NVDIA are improving as well. iX, 12th and 13 gen, RTX technology. Maybe AMD is a better choice with price and system performance for the big companies where prices does matter. AMD is absolute at the top if prices doesn't matter. Have a complete Intel based 12th gen system and a RTX videocard. It came not at top, but 3th place is not so bad. AMD was at the top. But if you look at the prices? It was much cheaper to choose for Intel and NVIDIA system than for an all AMD system with top products.
Note: PCI-E 4 class M.2 NVME? Just choose Samsung NVME M.2's much higher performance than the reads/writes you have stated .
Dude been enjoying PCIE4 performance since intel 11th gen on my laptop, which AMD does not have during that generation
Yes, the PCIe 4 M.2 NVME SSDs are amazing beasts. I still look at them in awe, a product about the size and thickness of a stick of chewing gum capable of holding TBs of data available at blazing speeds. I have two slots on my motherboard populated with M.2 drives (one the boot drive and software drive, the second drive is where I store all my data files). I retired my last HDD nearly two years ago now.
They are really great, if you’re poor.
i remembered clearly
Intel said "its IMPOSSIBLE" to transition to 64bits.
AMD then came out with the solution.
the rest is history.
Nah they never said it was impossible. Intel saw it as an opportunity to change to a new instruction set architecture in order to get out of these licensing deals with AMD and Cyrix dated back to IBM requiring a second source. A new ISA would not have the same issue which was being battled in court at the time with Intel trying to kick AMD out. Note, the deal was that AMD and Cyrix would get a copy of Intels CPU design like i386, not just that they could use x86 for their own design. Intel no longer wanted to give the CPU designs and AMD had to reverse engineer it instead (Always with better performance).
But while Intel was making the horrid VLIW instruction set architecture called Itanium, AMD was working on their very first Micro-architecture of their own design still based on x86, the performance was much better than Intels Itanium and pretty much determined the choice. To move into the 64 bit space AMD had changed x86 to be 64 bit (not uncommon to extend x86 with new features, this wasn't that complex). This extension was called x86-64, Intel and AMD made a cross licensing deal where any extensions made by either party would be shared for free to keep things compatible.
Intel didn't do x86-64 because they wanted a monopoly, and the only way to do that was make a new ISA. Unfortunately they couldn't make it perform any good.
TSMC updated that to $40 Billion now. Like I don' already have enough work to do with Intel, it's never been busier than right now in the semiconductor tool design and manufacturing business. Production is expected to ramp up by 6X's what we're capable now to meet the demand.
TSMC also announced a new 7billion usd plant in Japan.
actually intel is 10x bigger.

Intel: Number of employees 121,100 (2021)

amd caught up with both. with intel on processors, and nvidia on graphics cards, at the same time. the CEO of amd was the main reason.
ATI deserves credit which was acquired by AMD
This is what happens when companies refrain from putting business majors and accountants in charge of companies, all they do is look short term. Put an engineer in charge of your semiconductor company and look what happens
Every CEO of AMD has been an Engineer, yes even during their bulldozer years, so you could equally say having an engineer as CEO is a bad idea.

Depending on your budget, I recommend going with NVIDIA, as they're simply superior to AMD in GPUs.
@@haven216 theyre not superior in most things a consumer needs, outside of ray tracing and theyre justs lightly better on encoders.
My refresh into an AMD CPU nine months ago has been seamless. Highly recommended.
I've been watching the AMD vs Nvidia and Intel race for a number of years. Intel f'ed up by cutting the R&D budget to their fabrication process which caused their 10nm and 7nm processes to become delayed for +4 years. In that time AMD caught up to Intel with their Zen architecture. AMD has done a wonderful job of improving Zen with each new product line Generation..... while Intel is still kicking the Pentium III can down the road.... which has slowly evolved to become the modern day Core i9 and i7 processor. When AMD released Zen 3, Intel's processors were flat out beaten in every metric imaginable.
The real problem is Intel had been run by bean counters and people that were more interested in paying out dividends to shareholders, rather than come out with anything good. Hopefully Pat will have enough sense to have Intel create a brand new CPU architecture from the ground up. AMD had their back to the wall and took the ultimate risk with Zen, a risk which paid off. AMD had nothing to lose when it did. AMD has taken all kinds of risks over these last 6 years, whereas Intel is sticking to the safe and reliable Core architecture. The only risk Intel has taken is with dedicated GPU's which isn't paying off so far.
I remember when CYRIX and SPARC Solaris SUN was out... dang im old.
I worked for AMD in Austin, Texas fab 14/15. I was there when they came out with the first 1gig chip. They already had Intel!
she really changed the CPU market for good.
She had a lot to do with it.
Moore's law refers to Transistors, not resistors
At 10:56 it mentions Moore's law which doubles the number of resistors every 2 years, yeh well, what could you expect from a journalist. As a chip designer back when the term first got traction, it used to be the number feutures per given area, but then just became the number of transisters. Features is a far better fit because it follows the production process and lithography limits, but regular folks wouldn't know what a feature is. A transister used to make a DRAM or SRAM or logic gate are very different in shape so not very relevant either.

@@EbonySaints Most GPUs are made in China which is why he said "bigger problems to worry about than getting the latest graphics cards". SOME GPUs are made in Taiwan, most are made in China. Probably every air cooler that's made to go onto the GPU, and these are VERY custom air coolers since their tolerances have to be VERY exacting come from China. Each model of each company is a different air cooler.
Just replacing the ability to manufacture air coolers would take years of work, probably by German companies where this kind of technology also exists, but they still do their manufacturing in China for the most part.

Great documentary, but "transistors not resistors"
Ryzen was an Evolutionary Microprocessor in 2017 and Intel was left Chasing it's tail. They are catching up and I think part of that is because they have also hired TSMC to fab their chips for them. As for the GPU side of things, NVIDIA has seen the light and is also doing Chiplets. I hear rumors that the 5000 series cards will have this feature although that is not confirmed yet. And since chip manufacturing is massively expensive they have also shifted manufacturing to TSMC as well. I absolutely love the RYZEN processor. I built 2 computers with 1700X CPUs, A 2700X for a buddy of mine, A5600G for my stepmother and the machine I am on now has a 5800X, plus I bought a laptop with a 4600H. I am also using the Radeon 6700X video card on this machine. I couldn't get a 3rd party card due to inventory shortages so I got a reference card direct from AMD. Still a great product and I cant wait to buy the new card as soon as the market stabilizes a bit.
I used to invest in AMD in the early '00s. It's price cycle was so regular, it was a rational investment to make when it dipped. Now, forget about it. I wish I played the long game in AMD. But I never thought they would ever be anything but an also-ran to Intel.
Yeah I wish I bought into AMD in 2016. I'd be pulling out my investment next year after they have a very successful run with Zen 4 product and their server business which is driving their value.
I remember growing up with Intellivision, Atari 2600, Colecovision, DOS 3.0,ect. The first time I heard of AMD was via some old NAND/NOR gates. Intel had the Goverment contracts back then, Despite AMD being out so long. One day In 2013 during an Easter sale, I purchased the A85600K Limited Black Edition Series From AMD. I used that processor till January of last yr. I had to use a competitors GPU due to driver issues, but going from a 5600k to the 3900x was amazing!. "Bills Permitting" ,I'd like to build a total 7950x/XTX build if there are no driver issues. Go Team AMD! \m/(>_

I put it to one side, hoping to be able to fix it. I was unable to find the problem.
Once out of warranty I took it to some private fixit people who spent 2 months trying to find what was wrong. The CPU was blowing up the internal power supply.
