Jim Keller is a man who should need no introduction to an audience of tech nerds. He was part of the team that developed the legendary DEC Alpha microprocessors back in the 1990s, was the lead architect of AMD’s groundbreaking K8 processors, helped out with Apple’s A4 and A5 SoCs, went back to AMD to supervise the creation of the Zen architecture, and then did short stints at Tesla and Intel before joining Tenstorrent as CEO.
