      @@Gatorade69 To you. But if you show something like this video (even if you make it shiny and funny and whatnot) to a layman, they will go, "ha ha eggheads doing egghead things. NEEEEERD!!!". Either this, or they will be bored. You have to reach out to the consumer who has money to spend to buy the new fantastic amazing hardware / software thingamajigg without going technical. This is why Apple excels at sales. Heck, even Intel in the 90s - "intel inside" - went full marketing / PR speech, You want to move units, and the tech enthusiast crowd simply is not enough to sustain mass sales. Same with every field - e.g. automobiles.
      Edit: as an aside, sure, as other commenters said, proper education in schools etc. could make people have more of an affinity for enjoying this kind of stuff. But when most of the people in schools are in the "whateeeevs maaaan, I just want to get to college and get stoned and drunk all day" mood or whatnot, enthusiasm for this kind of stuff will be something really hard to captivate and instill in still-forming minds. This is why the STEM fields have almost always less people going in than other fields of education.

The shift to his being CEO is believed to signal a renewed interest within Intel on their engineering, especially with as far as AMD has caught up lately. Projects like this where Intel forgoes their absolute secrecy for extremely positive PR is a sign of this change in leadership mentality. The idea being that a few years ago you would have had to convince an executive who's only interest is in shareholder returns and profit to go for a collaboration like this whereas today, thanks to the appreciation for the work done in Intel's labs, it's no question that you'd want to show off and be proud of the hard work that your world-class teams are doing.

    You've hit the head on the proverbial nail with the issue. There is a big PR issue with the semiconductor industry in that if you ask people 9 times out of 10 they'll be like I have no idea what that is. That disconnect needs to be solved and these videos are one way of doing so. At my universities, Rochester Institute of Technology, yearly microelectronics conference (the senior undergraduates present their final projects and industry sends speakers as well) we discussed this as well with one of Intel's VP's and he agreed that there needs to be more effort from industry to bridge the gap between education and industry. For example, why aren't semiconductors discussed as part of AP/High School level physics and chemistry? I don't know if anyone from LTT will see this but I'd love it if they'd come and tour our clean room facility and do a video on it, maybe even go through our short course where in the course of a week we design and fab transistors.

    The thing is, visitors like Linus, who can ask good questions, lead to solved problems, at least sometimes. And the fact that Linus knows nothing about this in detail also helps, that the engineers rethink there work from the "basics". And he brings in new points of views, he might bring them to a new relatively simple approach to some component, because engineers suffer from complex thinking regularly. It's basically a win-win-win situation.
    And you can't imagine how often problems are solved, do to a new team member, who askes good questions.

I don't know what part of the US you're in but there's a lot of help out there. Simply speaking to a community college counselor can help plan out your college carrier. There are also programs inside the college (such as EOPS) that help less fortunate individuals with financial assistance. I have a friend (also DACA recipient) who just graduated with a masters in Chemistry. It's harder for us but not impossible, it's a test on how badly you want it.

      By the way, there's lots of other parts to the chip business other than Intel. And you don't always have to have a fancy degree. For example, Jim Williams: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Williams_(analog_designer) . I don't believe he had a degree. But he loved electronics and had a mind for it. So he worked himself up to being one of the best known representatives for a large chip company.

    I wonder if this trip will inspire some of the design for the extreme OC done in the future. The idea of using a second set of lines for air to prevent condensation is very interesting. Good alternative to attempts to isolate the cooler from other components on the board.

      Edit: the scammer has now changed the name of the account, but originally it contained the word "WhatsApp" and a number, as well as the name of the channel the video is on, and the hand emojis in the end were pointing there.

    Great video Linus and team. It’s so easy to see how hyped everyone is, and it’s the hype I had when I was melting down 486s trying to OC the first time.

    This is probably going to get lost because youtube comments suck but @ 6:42:
    The RAM slot might be for their Optane PMem DIMMs. Was there a battery on the card? In the even of power loss Optane DIMMs need power for a little bit longer to finalize whatever memory operation was still in flight so they generally use batteries for that. I suspect the big battery you found in the 6TB of RAM in one PC video was for the same thing.
    Even if there was no battery on it though I wouldn't count out that it is for some sort of optane testing. Their PCI-e cards use pretty much the same tech as the DIMMs just a different controller so if they'd want to validate a bunch of configurations making it so you can slot in a different DIMM instead of having to solder it to a PCB would make a lot of sense.
