For what it's worth, here's my 7000+ word deep dive into the technology.

For partners. They're still a seed-funded startup right now.

I was under the impression it was going to be available to download without registration, but the CEO pinged me to say it will be registration required. They've debated internally and this is the direction they want to go down.

This content wasn't sponsored. I spent time with the CEO and listened to his explanations, and did some digging of my own. I reported on the announcement and added in some of my own thoughts and opinions. I spent a decade doing exactly this at AnandTech, but now it's in video form (or on my substack).

So I'm not really sure where you're getting that feeling from. I've always done this. If I do sponsored content, it's listed as such.

HBM2 is still in volume production. New products coming out with it on the ASIC side. Gaudi 3 uses HBM2e.

AVX2 is like a portion of a pie without filling. AVX512 is like a full pie with extra filling. You're getting filling, not simply more pie.

Technically DM&P still have an x86 license.

You either teach an engineer to write, or a journalist about engineering. One is significantly harder than the other.

Sometimes, but in retrospect, what I was doing was really basic CS on top of a field of chemistry that had had zero love at that point.

Segues? A segway is a branded mobility thing.

I'd spent a month or so trying to come up with a good name, seeing which channels had success and what the drivers were. A lot of top channels have the presenter's name in it, but the problem with Ian is that most fonts don't have serifs, and the number of times I've been put down as LAN by people who can't distinguish between capital i and lower case L is infuriating. I concluded it would have to have a cadence, a rhythm, the word Tech, and some tie in.

In the end it was a bad subtitling transcription by YT on my first in person video with Wendell. Right near the end, it auto-transcribed something about me and AnandTech as 'TechTechPotato'. The tie in with chips and potatoes is an obvious one - 'twice the tech and all the chips' is a potential future tag for the channel.

About a month in, one of the community built the logo, completely unprompted. I loved it, and bought it off him.

That and the constant Exynos vs Snapdragon articles with industry benchmarks that showed the Snapdragon ahead.

My advice is to put your head shot on it. I have on mine. Going to events and getting 100 business cards and not remembering what people look like - but they all know what I look like.
