How Chip Giant AMD Finally Caught Intel

Chip giant Advanced Micro Devices made history this year when it surpassed Intel by market cap for the first time ever. Intel has long held the lead in the market for computer processors, but AMD’s been on the rise since it acquired adaptive chip company Xilinx in February for $49 billion. Now, AMD chips are in two Tesla models, NASA’s Mars Perseverance land rover, 5G cell towers and the world’s fastest supercomputer.

More Than Moore’s Law – What’s Next?

Moore’s Law has been the rule of thumb that has propelled innovation in computing power of the last few decades. We have however finally reached a point where Moore’s Law no longer strictly applies but its idea of innovation still carries on through other channels of chasing computing power.

This video discusses the end of Moore’s Law and which exciting innovations will carry on its principle into the future.
