Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where x86 comes up
TSMC founder Morris Chang · Acquired
- ▶ 2:24:56 Ben Gilbert If Intel and the x-eighty-six architecture had maintained its dominance, you wouldn't have had this window, this opportunity for the value chain to sort of rearrange itself.
- ▶ 2:25:15 Ben Gilbert This architecture that became dominant in phones, and then computers, and then servers, and, you know, now is coupled on, with all these AI chips, you open the door to have a dedicated foundry for ARM chips in a way where if it had stayed…
- ▶ 2:25:35 Ben Gilbert For the longest time, Intel was the only x-age company, and then AMD, of course, is the, the second source, and AMD is a,
- ▶ 2:25:44 Ben Gilbert It's like, well, there is AMD that designs x-eighty-six chips that TSMC manufacturers, but that's not like the common case of the way it would have gone for an, in an x-eighty-six dominated world.
- ▶ 2:26:26 David Rosenthal Macs were running on x-eighty-six Intel chips.
- ▶ 2:26:42 Ben Gilbert Uh, all the baggage from x-A-D-E-S actually prevented them from structurally doing that.
- ▶ 2:26:48 Ben Gilbert It was like a, it never could have happened that x-A-D-E-S could run on phones.

- ▶ 41:36 David Rosenthal Well, then the architecture standardizes on x 86 and boom, there goes the whole next generation of computing away from TI over to Intel.
- ▶ 1:04:12 Ben Gilbert Brand new, unconventional instruction set architecture that's totally different than the x-eighty-six stuff that the whole industry and world seems to have standardized on at this point.
- ▶ 1:12:53 Ben Gilbert Right, like they're the x-eighty-six.
- ▶ 1:34:18 David Rosenthal It was x-eighty-six.
- ▶ 1:37:03 David Rosenthal Like, the Tesla Dojo stuff, that's not x-eighty-six.

- ▶ 52:21 David Rosenthal The data center, a GPU accelerated computing platform to, in their minds, replace the old CPU led Intel dominated x-eighty six architecture in the data center.
