AMD and Intel have been in love for nearly half a century. Both sides are researching high-performance chips. The previous business overlap was mainly CPU, but Intel is now also trying to develop high-performance GPUs. The positive competition between the two sides will only be in the next few years. More.
At the end of last year, AMD RTG graphics business leader Raja Koduri left Intel, and AMD's former CPU chief architect Jim Keller joined Intel. These two great-level characters rarely appeared on the same stage in AMD, now they are together Appeared in the Intel Israel Haifa Laboratory.
Raja Koduri sent a picture on Twitter recently. He went to Intel's lab in Haifa, Israel, and met the staff of the local laboratory, including Jim Keller.
They used to be old acquaintances. They have worked together for many years at AMD. Raja is responsible for AMD's GPU business. Jim Keller is responsible for AMD's CPU. During his tenure, he was mainly involved in the development of the Zen architecture. In 2015, he left the predecessor title. Is the chief architect of AMD.
Although the two were responsible for different chip developments at AMD, the teams on both sides also had internal communication. Previously, in Polaris, Vega architecture, AMD mentioned that the Radeon team was assisted by the Zen team to help them optimize GPU frequency. Performance, so Raja, Jim should have had a lot of communication before.
Now the position of the two people has changed. The place where I met again is actually AMD's old rival Intel. I don't know if the two people will remember the good times at AMD, or spit together.
It is also worth noting that Raja is a business trip to Haifa Lab, and Jim Keller may not be the same because Haifa Lab is a well-known high-performance processor R&D center in Intel. The Core architecture that helped Intel turn over from the P4 era was developed by Israeli laboratories. One of Jim Keller's important responsibilities at Intel is a new generation of high-performance processing. So, I can imagine that Intel may come up with a big killer in the next few years. After all, they have developed a revolutionary X86 processor architecture for a while.
In the past few years, only AMD executives have switched to Intel, and AMD has Intel 'rebellion' people.
Jim Aerson, the current AMD No. 2 character, general manager of the graphics and computing business, was formerly Intel. Previously, he was responsible for the strategic planning of mobile, notebook and server at Intel. He also served as a microprocessor architect. AMD’s Threadripper processor is said to be It is his lead.
