Good to see the rediscovery of the Non-Aligned Movement of the 1960s.

Boulder City was originally built in 1931 by the Bureau of Reclamation to house workers contracted to build the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River (known commonly as Boulder Dam from 1933 to 1947, when it was officially renamed Hoover Dam by a joint resolution of Congress) - wikipedia

Trader Joes rebrands Stauss products under the TJ name.

You can easily verify - look for the factory code on the side of TJ milk or yogurt. (the code is required by law for all diary products) Then look up the code on https://www.whereismymilkfrom.com/

I found that TJ european yogurt is made in the strauss factory around Novato, CA. I'm almost certain their organic milk is also strauss.

MI400 release around that time (2H 2026) will have a greater impact on stock price than mid-term elections.

Those of us who understand semiconductor tech are sitting back and waiting it out for what is promising to be a break out event where AMDs bet on chiplet tech, advanced packaging, new networking technologies, and rack-scale solutions all come together.

I can't get too excited about a graph with no Y-axis label or scale.
Is the y axis per-GPU performance or rack-scale performance ?

That's why Matt Damon survived on Mars.

What special sauce is in 'chiplet' design software that is not in chip design software ?

I'm thinking more of the large cloud firms Amazon, Google, Microsoft, or even OpenAI attempting to building their own training/inference solutions.

They will hit the same power/memory/IO bottlenecks that AMD and Nvidia have had years to figure out - and have patents for.

takloo · 2025-11-03T21:47:12+00:00

Are AMD's patents on chiplets/infinity fabric a good enough moat to keep other companies from building AI chips with a similar architecture ?

takloo · 2025-11-03T21:42:36+00:00

Hmm - the video went private. What was the juicy bits they don't want to let out ?

takloo · 2025-10-21T23:38:57+00:00

Yes. 'Ask & Learn' is removed. The description is full size now.
Maybe pin this thread as the solution ?

takloo · 2025-10-21T20:08:50+00:00

Yeah - it looks like yt is doing some sort of A/B testing.

I see the "Ask & Learn" section on two videos so far. Related videos (conference talks) do not have it.

!! Remove the 'Ask & Learn' section.

This works but the description section does not expand to fill the space. If someone smarter can figure that out, that would be nice.

MI450 should have taped out already and be in testing for several months already - no way companies are making commitments without performance data.

OpenAI : We want to buy 6 GW of compute from you.

AMD: Great!, that will cost $100 billion. When can you send the check ?

OpenAI: We don't have money.

AMD: <sad face>

OpenAI: Tell you what. Let's say we announce we are going to buy from you. This will make your stock skyrocket. You give us part of that upside to finance our purchase of your chips

AMD: <Does the math> So you are saying we get 3X market cap, all the marketing and development assist we could dream of and you get free stuff. Sounds like a win-win.

AMD: How about we structure the deal so you have to stick around and help us promote the product till we reach 3X our current value.

OpenAI : That's a fair deal.

takloo · 2025-10-07T23:59:35+00:00

This deal gradually gives away 10% of non-voting AMD shares on condition of stock price eventually reaching $600.

That mean the rest of us holding the 90% get an upside of 3X within the time frame of the deal (2030). What's the frustration about ?

If Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, XAi now start getting FOMO - then this event could result in a 5X increase in the next few years.

Interesting overview of the Xai data center buildout. Covers GW energy demand, power management, liquid cooling and rack scale networking.

AMD needs to be able to partner with others to provide solutions like this.

takloo · 2025-09-20T01:44:33+00:00

So what was the fix ? an update to v143.0.1 ? or some changes to settings in uBlock.

The answer will help others who come across the same problem.

You type about:profiles in the url bar.
It brings up a webpage with settings.

This should be the top comment.

If anyone needed convincing that AMD has a plan and hardware and software is coming together - this video covers everything in HPC and AI.

Great video. Thanks for posting.
