One of the most exciting days of my career.

exiting stealth and launching at DAC. Thanks to BoD

for support and investment, and numerous customers and partners.
My blog on Baya's inception:
Silicon Valley is going back to its roots. Over the next decade, huge value will be created in silicon. Those who lead in silicon design and manufacturing will win big. Pendulum has swung again. These cyclical trends last over decade(s). PS - this is not April fools joke.
We are already in the era of multi PB/s bi-section fabric bandwidth within package.
If you are playing the high performance computing or AI silicon game and not currently designing your chiplets and interconnects for these levels, you have already lost.
Congestion Control (CC) is crucial for optimal (not over designed) fabrics. Even more so in larger faster systems. Most CC designs look dumb, weak or a mess. We are advancing the state of the art in CC. DM me all congestion control and fabric geeks if interested in a deep dive on

Less is more.
Less code, less gate, less opcode, less feature.
True in software, hardware, protocol, design, engineering.
It's not just desirable, it's a survival strategy.
Also a firm believer that
@intel
's future is brighter with
@PGelsinger
.
@jimkxa
had similar plans to fix
@intel
but now water under the bridge. Fortunate to have experienced both legends.
Another wishful thinking: Pat + Jim >>> Pat, Jim.
Embracing change,
@intel
is on a voyage to a brighter future. Kudos to
@PGelsinger
for steering the ship.
@jimkxa
was pursuing this and more 6 years ago, now wishful thinking. But as they say, better late than never! Future’s bright,
@intel
’s ready! 😎
@jimkxa
100% agree on the need of an truly open fabric protocol. Most current standards (open or closed) are driven by special interests of large corporations.
Internet revolution started after IP/Ethernet arrived as a true open standard. Computing and semiconductors need the same.

Very interesting poll.
@Arm
original coherence protocol was
#AMBA
ACE that had deadlocks and scaling and perf issues. CHI is great but look similar to
@intel
. Perhaps a great knockoff if it is indeed. Will be interesting to hear others opinions.
@PatrickMoorhead
During Network Processor mania couple decades ago the ASIC- and GP- like arch duelled. ASIC was always deemed efficient but GP won in the end. The reason: 1. workloads keep changing and GP adapts faster. 2. key bottlenecks are hw accelerated so GP is not far in efficiency.
@RajaXg
Five pillars: Compute, Memory, Communication, Power, and last but not the least Manufacturing
Compute margins are way higher than the rest due to software. Other 4 are software neutral.
🤔 Something to ponder:
@intel
posts a $12.7B revenue in Q1 2024, up 9% YOY, yet their market cap sits at $125B. Meanwhile,
@AMD
, with $5.5B in revenue, enjoys a market cap of $250B. 📊 Twice the cap with half the revenue? What's driving this valuation disparity?
#TechInvesting
@jimkxa
$10B number is perhaps made up so
@nvidia
can make a case for ridiculous margins. Even during the Xeon heyday (99% marketshare), they never demanded such margins.
If $10B is not made up then the situation is much worse.
Unfortunately this is true for many CEOs and senior management. The results are clear. Tech companies run by techies excel more often than those run by bureaucrats, accountants and finance people.
@IanCutress
Chip size has not grown much over last 4 decades while transistor count has exponentially. The machinery of manufacturing, testing, packaging, and deployment is apparently built for fixed 2D dimensions. I wonder if the next frontier of super scaling will lead to bigger chips in

if past 3 months trend continue. Will be more valuable/indispensable than each of their customer's silicon unit. ARM won mobile, won enterprise, winning DC without preexisting SW base. (1/2)
@tomshardware
In one word: insanity.
A healthy competition between the
#USA
and
#China
is gonna be the greatest accelerator for technology and for innovation. It's sad that walls being erected to stop it.
@RajaXg
New tech creates more jobs than it displaces. AI will be no different. Your observation is apt and will happen 100%.
More jobs will be created to feed the beast and to ride it.

This is the future.

Cache Studio and Chiplet Studio are coming soon!

@Arm
tech and strategic edge far surpasses all compute silicon companies and almost all

customers. Long term they will win over all, especially the margins. Great future ahead.

Here we are at all time highs and they are talking about cutting rates with inflation still raging and Congress spending like there's no tomorrow. The show is unbelievable.

AI semiconductor race has just begun and it's going to be a marathon not a sprint, and a very rewarding one, for many players not just one.

@nvidia
They do not need alternate reality to justify a $1T valuation. They will probably hit $200B revenue and $100B profit within 2-3 years.
They will, to hit $10T, which many analysts are calling.
@Arm
@intel
@AMD
@Qualcomm
This is the fruit of owning main IP, fostering ecosystem + open/free standards (but managed).
#AI
barely starting.
@nvidia
like Xeon/Sun in heyday or RIMM/Blackberry when Mobile started. Explosive growth, high margin, but closed, lil HW IP ecosystem. Who will be
@Arm
of AI? (2/2)

Cache and memory stack’s role in

performance is often under appreciated. It’s all about feeding the
#cpu
pipeline at the lowest latency and highest throughput. Multi-core cluster performance is even more dependent on cache hierarchy’s nimble data movement both downwards and
@jimkxa
TCP/IP + Ethernet runs almost all off-chip communication in the world. There two are perhaps the most important technologies right besides Turing type computers (all programmable computers)
AMBA runs majority of on-chip communication.

Depends on where we start redesigning physics from:
Caveman era -> Mythological physics era -> Newtonian era -> Relativity era -> Quantum era -> ?/AI/mythological/magic/unreal/simulation era
Starting from Caveman era will be fun. I strongly feel the redesign will follow the

@Arm
It does not have to do anything with
@arm
architecture, RISC-V or x86. It has everything to do with the scale of the chip, memory, cache, and fabric architecture.
So Kudos to Apple Silicon.

I wonder how pre-birth training compares to training for the rest of the life. I would assume most of pre-birth smarts is imprinted as natural reflexes in the entire body muscles, while brain is still mostly blank slate.
@RajaXg
Interconnect bandwidth needs grows faster as compute grows. How to suppress bandwidth needs? More and bigger caches, all types of them. That’s a factor.
