This is our full-length interview with Jason Christensen of AMD's Device Analysis Lab in Austin, TX. We aired parts of this for our documentary previously, but due to popular demand from viewers who wanted to see Jason's full tour, we've cut together an extended version! This video walks through the destructive analysis tools, non-destructive analysis tools, and some of the technology behind how AMD designs and iterates on its CPUs. Jason shares technical details on how it all works.
Check out our interview with Bill & Amit sharing the History of Zen and how it almost didn't make it: • How AMD Zen Almost Did...

By popular demand! Jason's section from our AMD Lab Tour Documentary was the most-requested from you all for a full-length / extended cut! There's some extra technical discussion in here that didn't fit in the original video. If there's enough interest, we can do the same for the thermal lab! Let us know.

Thanks!
What happened to your previous video, why did you take it down?
@@godlikemachine645 We posted on the YT community page about it!
@@GamersNexusimho it was ok, idk why everyone got offended
It was actually a good thing to pull the video in the sense that GN can say look we pull content we later deem to not be up to standards to make error corrections,etc. This is absolutely a positive in the long run and if you know Steve at all this is a 4d chess move.
16 years ago...AMD was moving from K8 to K9 and acquired ATI. Jason has seen some very stuff in that time, and been through highs and lows. To still be excited about his craft and lab is great to see.
Getting to talk to engineers is fascinating.
No filter, no talking around the topic. Just insight from a domain we've never seen before.
Love it!
I'm here because I was told there would be lasers
Lasers are always a good reason to arrive.
@@GamersNexus My cat would agree.
Sadly they are not being shot out of the eyes of Sharks!
@@Horus9339he said lasers not "lasers"
@@qT_p13 Yeah baby, YEAH!
I want MORE from ALL of them! The engineers are super cool to listen to, regardless of their role... They're just great!
Same here, show us everything!
Agreed, listening to the actual experts giving knowledgeable layman's explanations is amazing! I always learn so much from these videos.
I love getting the nitty gritty from the people who make the things!
Man thease tours are awesome
Bigger, Longer and Uncut
Dick van Dyke
That's what she said...
Sounds like your mom has been talking about me.
bro 😭😭
😳 ayo?
Jason had to bring his explanations so far down to make them understandable it's unreal. The bloke did good, real good. The full interview was great! Bring on the full Thermal Lab interview GN!
A good teacher can make just about any subject approachable to a newbie, and he's got the gift for sure!
I really love that AMD hosted you for this documentary. Have had a great experience with their CPUs and GPUs. Seeing some of the people behind the magic is very cool.
Always fun to take a peek behind the scenes to see how the stuff we grab off the shelf is conceptualized/created/processed!
Thanks for always being the top stop for this kind of content, GN
If only AMDs marketing/sales people were that competent
If engineers were in charge of marketing then we'd get intel like naming schemes, the sales pitch would be "better than last gen" every year, and cardboard packaging with no print. lol
@@noahbirdrevolutionWell if the marketing dept is responsible for the mobile chip naming scheme it's hard to imagine they'd do much worse. Granted, it's a brilliant way to do it if the goal is selling these devices.
@@noahbirdrevolution that is not what I was saying though. I meant competence, not the same people or skills
Yep, your editors choose wisely on the first edit, but this was awesome to see. "Thanks Steve"
This kind of behind-the-scenes content is so fascinating.
Please give us all you can.
now this is inspirational for the next generation of enthusiast and developers in engineering.
More universities and even high schools or even all grades should show these types of interactions and walkthrough videos.
really awesome
Absolutely love this type of content ❤
Love content like this. I wish more manufacturers were open to showing the consumer how passionate they are about tech.
Awsome! Super Cool video, glad to see The full uncut Version, Loads Of Great Insight
Awesome video!
Loved seeing what it actually takes to get a finished product we use every day to a reliable state - damn good content there!
Big thanks to the whole GN Team 👏💕
Thank you for bringing great content for so many years, GN. Your work is the only reason I keep in touch with modern PC tech.
Excellent content! These "seeing how the sausage is made" videos are outstanding.
thank you for this full cut
:)
You guya keep putting out great, deep content. Please keep it up
Cheers Steve for the interesting insight / interview exploring what AMD is getting up to. 🙂👍
Thanks Jason, your tour was very interesting.
Steve, you ask questions in such a thought through way, its great. You really are born for the job you do. I mean i love hardware reviews, but you visiting factories, oems and all kind of labs is just the best content imho. You respectfully probe in the right places, ask the right questions to really help the experts and involved people you interview to really explain what they do in an in-depth manner, but its still understandable. Thanks.
Holy crap.. This is so awesome.Steve you are incredible.
What a really cool job and a really calm and patient dude Jason is. Thank you guys.
Top drawer content this is and easily more than what I can remotely take away from it but still fascinating nontheless. Well done!
Building my first p.c, and I'm excited. AMD's business model is awesome, it's hard to put into words. Simplicity is classy.
oh shit more amd lab tour content!?!? love this!!!
What a privilege to watch this. Technical parts at moments went over my head. To Be Honest: Most Likely to try AMD for our first time ever because they showed this. Builds trust. Way to go AMD and Steve. Yea, there's something about the 'low-fi way' of simply showing us the tech with no 'advert glam', that makes the work AMD does here, feel real and tangible, to an ordinary person. Thank you.
This was a nice showaround. I seen a connexion spacenavigator on the desk I use for 3d modelling etc. sometimes 🙂
Thank you for this. Very interesting stuff!
Thank you !! Great Video!!
appreciate stuff like this, cool to peel back the curtain a little
Man these interviews are so amazing. I could watch them for hours. I'm waiting for the same in depth on Inte's lab. Or are they salty because of all the "Thanks Steve" XD lol
Awesome interview!
(And we have another "Thank you, Steve" soundbite :D)
Thank you !🤩
Dude is like a character from Stargate, one of those wacky super scientists who works behind the scenes but becomes a side character for an episode or two.
17:10 "I wish i could show you" we gotta protect that man "Jason" at all costs.
I want full interviews with everyone, especially the guy that was developing the heat spreader.
Love that AMD allowed you to do this interview.. Well done!
More collecting photons! Thanks for the long interview with Jason 👍
I expected to get bored by the repetition from the full doc, but this was excellent. I think I got more context and that led to a better understanding of the different tools and techniques. Thanks for uploading!
These videos are just super cool!
understood very little but still fascinating to watch these types of videos.
Nothing more refreshing than seeing individuals as confortable at work as they are at home. It shows they love their job and have a passion for what they do. Great video.
Incredible video, AMD has alot of genius’s working for them.
Awesome!
Awesome summary mate. I have a much better understanding of this now.
Thanks Steve!
You could say I'm 'laser' focused on this content
Super duper cool. More please.
Love this sort of stuff, so interesting. More of this please
huge, feel like a kid in a candy store. thanks for sharing that with us and hopefully more of the other amd lab parts especially with the awesome oc duo.
You can actually feel how interested Steve is in playing with the 3D Xray thingy.
"Look over there! It's an Nvidia spy!"
_Steve starts trying to carry away 3D X-ray machine_
Those videos are super interesting. I have always been interested in computers and CPUs and it's just cool being able to listen to people who work on these puppies... and as a proper AMD fanboy this video is on another level to me 😀
I didn't know that AMD uses German Hartgestein-Prüfplatten nach DIN 876 (21:10) 😀
the folks over at the analysis lab definitely love their intellimice, i mean who doesn't?!
Thanks Steve
This is awesome. And Steve, your respect for Jason and his work is palpable. Great to see. No other channel steps back and shows reverence the way GN does.
Mad respect.
This could be your neighbor and best buddy who is "outsmarting" you in half a second if you start to talk about tech. I've never experienced someone who can explain things in a manner everyone can understand. Great video!
this guy is so entertaining that he could legit be a youtuber
amazing stuff
19:41 An Excavator has been excavated?
That guy helped to make my processor wicked!
I'm a simple man. GN shows some behind the scenes themed video and I go watch it and like it.
Just another scope. Amazing
Another absolutely incredible video by you and the team Steve. Awesome 😀
Ayyyyee perfect timing
Very Very Cool!
We look to Tech Jesus for answers. Tech Jesus looks to Jason.
Let's go! Loved all of the people you spoke to at AMD
Steve that was an awesome video but it has left me with a thousand more questions like, who and how do they design these chips? Who writes the protocol for proper testing procedures? Are these people even human who design these processors, Inquiry minds want to know. Mind Blown, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Inquiring minds
True engineering goodness. Love it Steve.
Fascinating.
Awesome stuff guys!
Great work like always! 😁
This was super interesting to see!!
Gamers Nexus coming thru with clutch, can't miss content!
I love this content.
As a protoss player, I can't resist lazer videos
Why wasn't I taught any of this in school ? The day I realized I was into it and there was no going back that was the day I received my K7 chip and when I took it out of the box to smell it all the people there thought I was nuts. (Hint I could barely wait) Well maybe I am.... Thanks for the more in depth video it's appreciated Believe me
What makes you think it is too late?
@@natepfunk you're right I don't mean to be a negative Nelly. I'm older now though... (That was back around 93/94) at that point I should have already been
Thank you for shining a light on this interview
No pun intended
This was really cool. Too bad you couldn't share more from them lab, must have been a treat.
That was really cool guys!!!
thanks
Amazing video. Loved this. Though I understood about 1/3 of it ;)
thanks GN for doing these types of videos and huge thanks to AMD - particularly Jason in this case, for being great educators and "tour guides"
The kind of jankness of these laboratories and setups that AMD has amazes me. It’s like how it all started a bunch of super talented and smart dudes making McGuiver stuff in their moms basement. NVIDIA and Intel are like NASA, the best of everything money can buy, AMD is like the Soviets, team red suits them in more than just their trademark color. Even their headquarters looks like something from the Soviet era. Amazing what you can do with sheer talent and ingenuity. Props to those guys.
As someone whom was born in USSR - it's nothing like it, really. This image of creatively chaotic but functional science is romanticised and false.
Thanks Steve & AMD!
If, as kid I saw this - my life would be absolutely different. The only similarity would be - i'd also watched GN. Granted, we all know that the last thing that AMD needed in times of opterons and fx's - is popularity seeking journalists in the freaking lab). Now they can show - and now they have Steve. None of those factors was viable decision making drivers 15 years ago. KUDOS GN!
that giant breakout board is very cool.
great video :D
Damn im going to need an amd cpu breakoutboard for the collection 😎
Love this chan, buying a mod mat soon because why? Because u expose shit and dgaf. ❤
19:40 That CPU might be a Phenom II X6 judging from the die size and aspect ratio.
Thanks for showing us the Secret Cave Lab(tm)! It was super interesting :)
Are you planning to review the Kryosheet from Der8auer ? Heck, why not review the Mycro waterblock and pit it agains the new Optimus AM5 block :)
Welll Idd like every interview in full length!
