RIPIP everyone else
If this is true anyway. I wonder just how much funding Samsung would be willing to give Keller and co. Perhaps they know something about K12?
LOL, do people really think that Jim Keller is "chip god"?
Only hype believers.
Joining Samsung already explains the fast exodus from AMD.

RIP Intel on Mobile then.... Mediatek is cheap, Samsung is the MT king and Apple is the ST king.... Intel has nothing to do here.A substantial amount I would imagine if you have the talent, fabs and money. You could beat anyone. Especially the way Intel is sandbagging in mobile.

From the leaks regarding Mongoose Samsung is already on track to produce the new king of mobile SoCs.
Only hype believers??
You youngsters need to stop in and talk to people who've been at Intel for 10+ years.
Stop in and talk to people who worked with him at DEC.
Stop in and talk to people who worked with him at AMD.
He understands modern central processing unit design unlike anyone on the planet.
If you don't believe that, you need only look at where Apple was with their A-series chips before Jim came onboard to work his magic.
There's a long lead time between when an uArch design is done until it shows up in actual products on the market. We're talking several years. So the work he did at Apple some years ago may still have an impact on the products we're seeing today.The A series is a good example. Jim Keller doesn't work there anymore, and they still make even better products.

Also, uArch design principles and practices established at the time he was at Apple can still have impact on the work they have been doing on the follow-up designs to the ones he was directly involved in.
Yes, I know. So the work he did can still have an impact on the current Apple CPUs, as I wrote in my previous post.Its over 3 years since Keller left Apple.

Its over 3 years since Keller left Apple. The assumption that he is a god is hilarious at best.
Pretty simple minded thinking if you ask me. I'm not Keller expert, nor do I know if he is chip god or not and how much better he is than the average engineer, but have you ever considered that if he is as good as some here are claiming, he put the long lasting seed to grow in fruition while working on apple?The A series is a good example. Jim Keller doesn't work there anymore, and they still make even better products. In other words, Jim Keller was just 1 random person out of 1000s. Is he better than the average? Sure, without question. But Jim Keller isn't even replacing 10 other "unknown" engineers and managers in the grand scheme.
Who's a better chip designer than Keller?
Suddenly I hear the sound of crickets...
How did you ever hear about Keller compared to all the ones we dont hear about?
Nobody here cant really tell why Keller should be better. Besides he was one of the people working on K7, K8, A4 and A5.
I bet you that not a single person here waxing lyrical about the greatness that Jim Keller is even knew the man existed before AMD put out a PR touting that it had hired him back in 2012.
I wonder if these people know the names of the folks who have led various successful projects across the industry? There are a lot of smart people in this industry and a lot of really great chips get made. I guess you need to get hired by AMD in a bid to revive a dying CPU operation before you get any public recognition I suppose...
EDIT: to be clear, I'm not trying to "put down" Keller -- his career history points to somebody who is extremely good at what he does. I'm just trying to say that the people saying "OMG RIP ANYBODY COMPETING WITH KELLER" grossly underestimate the talent pool within the very large and vibrant semiconductor industry.
