Ian Cutress interviews chip architect Jim Keller about his time at AMD, Intel and elsewhere, management advice, design approach, Moore's Law and x86 versus Arm.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN recommends it as an interview dense with insight from Keller, worth hearing in full even for non-engineers.

Jim Keller interview packed with knowledge throughout
Updated my response to include a link to the transcription. The audio/video is here: this video It’s actually important (if you’re not an engineer) to listen to the whole thing, because he drops knowledge all over the place.

Ian Cutress interview with Jim Keller
K8 seems pretty small after he made the fucking Zen architecture (and Tesla AI). Lex has good interviews with Jim[1], he's not just very smart, he is wise. He started Tenstorrent some time ago with Ljubisa Bajic so I'm assuming this fab is related. Here is youtube channel for Tenstorrent[2], and last time I checked it was getting under 100 views per video... Ian also interviewed him[3] some time ago. Long story short if I had money that would be relevant in this context I would invest really hard into Tenstorrent. Investing time to listen to the guy seems to be not worse. 1a. link 1b. link 2. link 3. this video
