Ian, this is some of the best interview footage ever. Thank you. I love hearing Jim talk because he can break something down so well so that an under grad level person or even a hobbiest can understand it. You don't have to have 2-3 Phds to understand it. It is so refreshing to hear him talk to someone who knows the correct questions to ask because they truly understand what he is talking about on approximately his level, and they keep in mind who the audience is so you don't evolve to a conversation the blows up to something not comprehensible to normals. Excellent job. A++. Well done. Bravo!

So much of this interview (and the two interviews of Jim Keller by Lex Fridman) should be required viewing for all engineers, and managers of engineers. So many nuggets of engineering and management wisdom from one of Silicon Valley's most prominent engineers. Great work Ian! I hope your channel continues to grow!

These extremely knowledgeable and intelligent engineers are able to do explain complex things so easily because they understand so well what they're talking about. I think it was Einstein who already said long ago that if you can't explain something in a way that most people can understand it, you don't understand the topic yourself well enough.

Dr. Cuttress. I pressed the like button and then here are the extra likes which I wanted to give to this amazing and interesting interview 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Reasons are as follows: 1) Interview covered not only Jim as an engineer, but also as a person 2) Eventhough you might had the list of questions for him, you went with the flow and ask/ discuss based on his previous answers 3) You had made enough research about his previous speeches and his comments. Not an easy job....🙂 Thanks once again

Different obstacles. In first case the character is an obstacle, in second - education. Ian's got lucky to be raised as a communicative person and worked enough to get an engineering education. To be fair - it's actually MUCH harder to rebuilt personality than to learn a new skill or discipline, so if it's your goal - it's easier to teach journalist engineering, but IRL journalists are generally too obsessed with sensation hunting to actually study.

For me it was the last part of Q31 - of just never ever giving up on getting good people to believe in their ability to solve the problems with Zen and reiterating that to them relentlessly, as many times as was needed. He might not have been the 'Chief Architect' of Zen, but he most certainly earned his title of being its 'Chief Nudge.'

love this interview. the reality of how tech gets more features, gets bloated and you have to start over. Love the words of wisdom about team building. I've seen this first hand in the software and open source world. When I mentor young developers I try to emphasize the importance of not being married to a solution and avoid getting stuck. My degree is in english lit and I agree 1000% with Jim about reading books. From my experience, CS grads that fail because they have terrible people skills. In the consulting world, we like to say "our customer have people problems, not technology problems".

Out all the companies Jim Keller worked , his work in AMD stands out the most , first opteron 64bit CPUs he build for AMD , beat Intel in IPC and over all performance, Amd took 25% data centre market share. 2nd was also at AMD , he built ZEN CPUs , again beat Intel in CPU performance. Not sure the work he did for Tesla or apple , but AMD is where he is known for his work. Can't wait to see what he done for Intel , might be some crazy fast CPUs.

Didn't know what to expect from such a legendary chip designer as Jim Keller, but safe to say I was surprised positively in many ways. Very level-headed about his successes, couldn't believe when he brought up reading books and Shakespeare. I've known too many engineers or tech types who couldn't fathom the idea that something to do with humanities could be of use to anyone ever.

I think a good point here is that Jim does a lot of passive intake. He'll read it, and see what sticks or what ruminates. A lot of engineers only see value in active intake - if they can't focus on it and take it in at the time, they see less value in it.

Particularly when an individual may still have potential NDA/topic limitations which can make it harder for the guests to relax and be more open.

From this interview, I think we have to reclassify Jim Keller as a management genius/people enabler first and foremost - there is obviously no dispute to his credentials in silicon engineering, but leading people seems to be where Jim shines. To fly over overnight to AMD, turn around the minds in a room full of self-doubting engineers, who end up creating the world-beating Ryzen, is Hollywood-worthy level of leadership demonstration.

Jim said it loud and clear, Zen is a work of numerous engineers, not just a wonder product of a single person, so some guys really just has to stop their BS. Jim is CPU wizard but he can't do everything all by himself. There were so many unnamed people worked hard to bring together this wonderful architecture and they deserve some respect for that. AMD itself refers to Mike Clark as the Chief Architect of Zen, so I don't understand why people insist about the otherwise. Heck some people fail to even recognize Lisa Su as one of the key people to bring AMD back and stronger than ever.

Given that you are one of the best informed people on the issue of chip manufacturing, you might be able to explain just how hard it might be to move all the chip manufacturing from Taiwan to a safer location, in case China should decide to attack Taiwan ... which looks unfortunately more and more likely. If the CCP did launch a war, they would gain all those chip manufacturing plants and would simultaneously cut off western countries from this strategic resource, which is more important, by now, than petrol and other energy sources. So ... move the factories or just rebuild them elsewhere, presumably in the US and/or Europe? What capital costs would be involved? I'm pretty sure most governments do see the need for such a move and they would support it, logically and financially. What's your take?

I has this in my watch later for way to long (really trying to catch up, been down from 520 to like 495 over the past two days already). Still watching but I am really enjoying this so far. I interact with computers mainly on a high level, but I am trying to think down to the silicon a bit to optimize my programming. Especially with learning based models replacing well thaught out algorithms, it seems like the inference task might be far more efficient. But training should still be considered part of the computation - someone has to do it. Currently I am doing both to annotate training data. In the end I will benchmark both against one another. Might modify the comment as the interview progresses. From the timestamps it looks like you touched on my questions as well. It sounds a little like Jim thinking about people and relations, the way you think neurons in a generational neural network. You will always only find the local minimum, and you never know if it's the global minimum. increasing the mutation or running parallel generations might give better results (and by the recent Veritasium video I watched, in the real world crazy mutations might happen even if you don't see progression for a while). The mentor question was answered, I will look up some of the names. But the book topic is really interesting - I started to read books on my daily commute and I really enjoyed that. For the past 1.5 years I haven't been going to campus due to the pandemic and also haven't been reading at home. I am excited for student life to hopefully continue in October again. About the way we think is really interesting. Our brain can think about the most complex problems but if also got it's limits. We are building computers that are far more powerful for specific tasks that our brains couldn't do at all. Yet we can still understand how computers work as it's simple on the lowest level.

(as a sidenote i rem at '96 when in Tech Institute as students then we discussed Arm at the time and how its compute components could work asynchronously from other components.. also ,always amazed at Hypertransport (IF) , always imagined it as a High Speed Motorway that some part requesting Data could tap into it.) Many interesting subjects..also about meditation , i knew he was gonna say that , your mind will work the answer and present you the results ,just give it the time it needs. If i had the time earlier i could ask about the book section if Jim had read young , I.Asimov 'Foundation' and 'Robots' Series? Great conversation Ian thanks!
