Behind the Scenes at TSMC's OIP 2024 Ecosystem Forum

[@EnochGitongaKimathi]

Well done, UCIe has made great progress for an open standard. 3Dblox as an open standard under IEEE is the kind of thing that Intel needs to make it a foundry business.

The Host with subtitles too 😂😂

Would be nice if we can get hbm on some consumer cards but oh well.

[@tringuyen7519]

Why? GDDR7 is coming out in 2025 & increase VRAM speed & capacity in all GPUs by 50%. Do you need more than that?

[@auturgicflosculator2183]

@@tringuyen7519 HBM cards have higher prices, and bigger number equals better?

[@seylaw]

*looks at his Vega 64*: These good old times where we got consumer GPUs with HBM2 for cheap.

Was the intro a accidentally pun , what or watt ?

It's a matter of keeping up with the latest tech or being left behind and wondering what's going on! It's fun seeing all the innovations that are occurring right before our eyes and trying to comprehend them as much as possible. The future is here and we are a part of it!😅😊

12:02 Very interesting, but I couldn’t help noticing the mouse on the desk - it really does resemble a rat.

Thank you for the informative videos TechTechPotato, this is off-topic but I am once again asking to please interview arc graphics team

[@links7622]

Really, this channel is for brainy people, very hard for my blue-collar brain cells to comprehend. But I still watch it to pretend I'm smart

[@102728]

Yup, no idea what's going on but still having a blast. Basically a golden retriever

[@askmedov]

I wish Dr Cutress would provide some commentary to speakers' words so that we understand exactly what they mean. Especially because many mix corporate speak with tech jargon, while trying to say nothing too edgy in front of the camera

[@pilsen8920]

They are marketing people. They are not saying anything. Not much content in the video. The good Doctor would be asking more questions if it wasn't marketing people.

[@tringuyen7519]

⁠​⁠@@pilsen8920True. The GDD7 PHY sign next to the Cadence VP was more exciting than what he was saying! Guess Cadence is selling PHYs to Hynix, Samsung, & Micron.

The TLDR; is that when people make "SOC" or "System on a chip" they are putting together different parts from different companies. those parts are a lot like the ICs (the black rectangles on a circuit board) which are the standard parts you can buy when you design a circuit. A system on a chip is basically this, but without the circuit board, you include various stardard parts from various manufacturers into your design and then it all turns into a single piece of silicon. Some of the examples people talked about in this show were controllers for different standard bus formats like PCI Express or DDR5 (regular computer ram) or GDDR7 (fancy next generation video card ram) or UCIE which lets chiplets talk to each other. This conference is where all those standard part makers come together to advertise their parts that people who are building new chips at TSMC might want to use. These parts are typically called "IP" because when the company sells it to you it sells you designs you can add into your new chip design instead of selling you physical things. with chiplets and 3d stacking now (like in AMD cpus) TSMC wants to make it possible for these companies that sell IP to sell chiplets instead. It's not clear to me if they would sell the chiplets as physical devices, or if they would license a customer to use them in a design. but either way, since a chiplet is manufactured on its own, that allows the company to know for sure that their part works the way its supposed to and it isn't going to be affected by other choices the customer might have made with their design that affect how the chip is made

Either you're tiny or Kam Kittrell is huge! :D

Hello Dr.Cutress, let me introduce you to some cutting edge tech to up your tech conference game to the next level. It's a revelatory device called a 'garment steamer'. It boils water to make steam. You use the steam to eliminate the wrinkles in your suit jacket! That way, you don't look like you dress yourself in the dark.

I'm sure he won't forget to bring one with him next time he flies to Taiwan

[@ai_Musicforlife]

Hi,first one ?

[@TAH1712]

I don't think faster and faster is always such a good thing. I think there is a natural cycling time of all product replacements, where users get all the value and some more from each purchase - with increasing faster and faster turnover of product, isn't the likely hood that purchases will be put off and off due the next tech coming along almost immediately afterwards. If you can move off the last latest to somebody else and can afford the latest, then I guess it's all ok. What do you think...Is faster and faster always a good thing?
