He's legit silicon valley. Uses the word "right" about every 20 seconds. A positive identifier of the milieu.
Good video though. The history of the semiconductor is the private industry version of the Atomic bomb story. Changed the world. And now people are more afraid of technology than they are of atomic bombs.
He's Legit. Period.
Keller is like some kind of architecture savant. Everywhere he went awesome products came out. DEC (Alpha), AMD (K7), Apple (A4, A5), AMD again (Zen), Tesla (AI chip), and probably some cool stuff that doesn't make the radar.
I wonder how long Intel can keep him interested? Also can't wait until something he has had major intput into hits the market, but that is likely years away.
That's the real question. He does not need money at this point, and is in it for the mental exploration. At Intel, assuming they aren't morons, he can move around to many related groups and find fertile ground for some of this ideas but stay in the company.
But that depends upon them understanding they need him more than he needs them.
*outcome unclear*

just from watching him talk it feels more like his sole purpose for doing what he does is to prove people and the industry that the limits they think exist don't exist but to do that he needs the people and money to push the technology, AMD was never going to be the company that could provide that.. intel has the people and money but the question is how long will it take before the shareholders get sick of shoveling the cash to make that happen or he gets sick of limitations being put on what he's allowed to do. there's to much of this "what can do you do for us now" not "what can you do for us now and for the next 10-20 years" mentality in most public traded industries. i just have this sneaking feeling that once intel gets ahead of AMD again they'll just ditch Keller because "well we have the best processors now, we don't need you anymore".
it was funny though watching some of the parts when he'd remember he's talking to a bunch of 20 year olds that have no clue what he's talking about when he'd bring up things that were happening in the industry from the 50's-90's. interesting watch though and even for my dumb brain i was able to understand most of what he was talking about.
Considering they picked him up while they still were the best peforming processors this doesnt make sense. Keller is a problem solver and its what he does best. Intel has alot of departments/teams with problems in many different areas. He is interested in fixing as many problems as he can and because the company has the funding and people to get stuff done it should be interesting. But if you think hes there to beat AMD on the mainstream CPU front then hes walking you are pretty far from the truth. Thats not even of interest to him. Hes a Jack of all trades, Master of all and since Intel has a very long list of issues/problems i dont think he will run out of things to do anytime soon.i just have this sneaking feeling that once intel gets ahead of AMD again they'll just ditch Keller because "well we have the best processors now, we don't need you anymore".

If he didnt want to be there or wasnt interested then he wouldnt be there.You assume he actually wants to hang around, though. I have to wonder if the Intel mentality will actually allow him to do the work he wants to do and needs to do. I would be surprised if places like AMD don't let him do basically whatever he wants simply because they know something good is going to come of it. I would be very surprised if Intel would allow him the same type of freedom. If Intel doesn't allow him the means to work the way he does best he may not stay around very long. Geniuses and savants of Keller's ability rarely ever fit into rigid corporate structures and if special circumstances are given them, what they produce tend to be far from optimal assuming they stay around long enough in the first place.

except at the time it was when Ryzen 2 was out. Intel still held the IPC crown. So no its not false. Regardless my point was Keller is not there to beat AMD.That's false. They do not have or had the best performing chips at the time, ultimately. They are getting hammered every which way and their process is abysmal. If you don't think they are in a serious pinch... gawd help you. AMD have Zen 3 completed and are in design on Zen 4. And they will probably/rumored to implement 4 way SMT. Intel might has well pack it in if they are so great at that time, lmao.

your still missing the point. lolYou think they could not hear the fat lady? You mean like Intel didn't forecast they would lose massive share? Oh and IPC crown means jack in the whole scope of things.
your still missing the point. lol
lol okNo, you are either delusional or rationalizing.
Best part of the talk is the optimism and the fact that he tries hard to prime the imagination of these engineers without BS'ing them. I know myself that I get bogged down in the "that's too hard" mentality and try for marginal gains that appear more tractable, and Jim's mentality is just the right thing needed to get so much more out of the talent he's leading.
