One of the most exciting days of my career. @bayasystems exiting stealth and launching at DAC. Thanks to BoD @jimkxa and @stanreiss , and @intel and @PGelsinger 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

@jimkxa @realGeorgeHotz 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.

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.

@AMD Revenue $5.5B, +2% yoy, Market cap 250B @intel Revenue $12.7B, +9% yoy, Market cap 125B Wild and insane. What am I missing?

🤔 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.

@EnerTuition @bayasystems @Arm @intel @AMD @nvidia @tenstorrent @jimkxa @RajaXg Mostly agree. Ethernet will emerge as the dominant scale out most likely. Scale up perhaps a toss between AMBA, NV, Infinity. AMBA being open may surpass others in the end, just like it did eventually (?) in the ISA wars.
