06:20
Like, do you ever just like shut the door and go, yes, all by yourself?
比方說,你會不會偶爾關上門,對自己說:「是的,全靠我自己」?
06:27
I don't know that I do that, Emily.
艾蜜莉,我不確定我會這樣做。
06:31
Those first few years were more about just stabilizing the company and getting ourselves on a good road map, and then we went through a period of just tremendous growth around the portfolio, and now we're in the AI world.

08:06
Oh, yes!
喔,沒錯!
08:06
I'm here to cheer them up, not to crack the whip.
我是來為他們加油打氣的,不是來鞭策他們的。
08:08
No, because at the end of the day, like, these guys love what they do.

So if you were to actually step into my library at home, you would see chips galore, because every time I launch a chip, like I save that as a souvenir.
In this new race to deliver the best chips for AI, Sue is focused on catching up to NVIDIA, a niche player that got its start in the 90s making chips for computer graphics and video games.
在這場為 AI 打造最佳晶片的新競賽中,蘇姿丰專注於追趕 NVIDIA。NVIDIA 是一家利基型廠商,在 90 年代以生產電腦圖形與電玩晶片起家。
10:10
NVIDIA realized early on that its GPUs could be pivotal for AI, and suddenly blew past its competitors when chat GPT came on the scene.
NVIDIA 很早就意識到其 GPU 對 AI 至關重要,當 ChatGPT 登場時,便一口氣超越所有競爭對手。
10:20

10:42
I wouldn't call it a like or dislike.
我不會用喜歡或不喜歡來形容。
10:45
What I would say is AMD has had a history of doing amazing things.
我想說的是,AMD 一直有做出驚人之舉的歷史。
10:51
And from that standpoint, we've always been in this place where we haven't necessarily had the same amount of people that other larger companies have, but we've certainly punched well above our weight in terms of technology capability, in terms of impact on the industry.
There's like more than enough chips for everybody to build.
每個人要開發的晶片都綽綽有餘。
11:54
And the beauty of this is everyone's recognized that chips are so important.
而美妙之處在於,大家都意識到晶片是如此重要。
12:01
Yes, so it's natural that they're going to have their own capability.
是的,所以他們要建立自己的能力是很自然的事。
12:04
Has the shake-up of a very established industry surprised even you?
這個非常成熟的產業發生動盪,是否連您都感到驚訝?
12:09
It has a little bit, I have to say.
我得說,確實有一點。
12:12
When you think about this conversation about the resiliency of the world, depending on, you know, semiconductor diversification, like those kinds of things, you know, those are big things.
當您思考關於世界韌性的討論,取決於半導體的多元化,諸如此類的事情,您知道,這些都是大事。

They're beyond an industry.
它們超越了單一產業。
12:25
They're really sort of underpinning sort of the global economy, you know, underpinning national security.
它們實際上是支撐全球經濟、支撐國家安全的基礎。
12:30
It is something that for someone who's been in semiconductors for a long time, it's different.
對於在半導體領域深耕多年的人來說,這是很不一樣的。
12:36
This is a very complex business with trillions of moving parts.
這是一個非常複雜的行業,有數兆個環節。
12:40
One wrong bet or manufacturing delay can cost billions and give competitors the chance to jump ahead.
一次錯誤的押注或製造延誤,就可能造成數十億美元的損失,並給競爭對手超越的機會。
12:46
Just ask Intel.
問問英特爾就知道了。
12:48
It's just been a stunning fall from Greece.
它的衰落簡直令人震驚。
12:51
This company used to be the world's dominant chip maker.
這家公司曾是全球主導的晶片製造商。
12:54

Their technology is not advanced.
他們的技術並不先進。
12:59
We saw the worst share decline in about 40 years for the company.
我們看到該公司遭遇約 40 年來最嚴重的股價下跌。
13:02
They gave a very grim growth forecast.
他們給出了非常悲觀的成長預測。
13:05
They also made or announced plans to slash 15,000 jobs.
他們也制定或宣布了裁員 15,000 人的計畫。
13:09
They've always been on the brink and they always seem to find a way, but we've never seen anything like this.
他們一直處於懸崖邊緣,也總能找到出路,但我們從未見過像這樣的情況。
13:13
Back in San Francisco, I wanted to get perspective on the changing dynamics of the chip industry from Bloomberg reporter Ian King.
回到舊金山,我想聽聽彭博社記者 Ian King 對晶片產業變局的看法。
13:19
Who knows the stakes better than anyone else?

13:23
Explain the pace of the chip industry.
請解釋晶片產業的發展速度。
13:26
Does it feel like a race to you?
這對你來說像是一場競賽嗎?
13:28
It's absolutely a race.
這絕對是一場競賽。
13:30
It's a murderous race.
這是一場殊死戰。
13:31
You fall behind.
一旦落後。
13:32
You are in big trouble.
就會陷入大麻煩。
13:33
So decades, Intel had more resources than anybody else, more revenue, and was way ahead.
數十年來,英特爾的資源比任何人都多,營收更高,並且遙遙領先。
13:38
It set the agenda.
它主導了產業議程。
13:40
Takes five years off, basically made some bad decisions that it shouldn't have made.
它浪費了五年時間,基本上做了一些不該做的錯誤決策。
13:44
And now we're in a position where they might never catch up again, right?
現在我們面臨的情況是,他們可能永遠無法再次追上,對吧?
13:47
The train does not wait for anybody.
火車不等任何人。
13:50
What do you think Lisa's legacy will be?
你認為莉莎(Lisa)的 legacy 會是什麼?
13:51
It's already cast in stone, right?
這不是已經塵埃落定了嗎?
13:54
They're going to build a statue of her because she took a company that was and also ran that used to get laughed at, almost made a difference, right, AMD, and made it a significant provider of cutting-edge technology, a serious company, one that people believe in and trusted.
Are we trading the dominance of one company for another?
我們是否正在用一家公司的主導地位換取另一家?
14:14
The direction for the industry was set by Intel for decades.
數十年來,這個產業的方向都是由英特爾(Intel)制定的。
14:17
Right now, the whole AI thing is built on Nvidia.
現在,整個 AI 領域都是建立在輝達(Nvidia)的基礎上。
14:21
Nvidia is coming out with software, new chips, new services, faster than anybody else's, and everybody's just following them because that's the easy thing to do.
輝達推出軟體、新晶片、新服務的速度比任何人都快,而所有人都只能跟在後面,因為這是比較容易的做法。
14:28
At a certain point, they become utterly pervasive and then the cost of replacing them becomes difficult.
到了某個時間點,它們會變得無所不在,到時候要取代它們的成本就會變得很困難。
14:34
So what does AMD have to do to catch up?
所以 AMD 要做什麼才能追上?
14:37
Depends what you mean by catch up, right?
這要看你所謂的「追上」是什麼意思,對吧?
14:39
This industry tends to have a very strong player, number one in each market, good number two, and then a number three where you're like, why are you bothering?
At the moment, AMD is a solid number two and doing well.
目前,AMD 是穩固的第二名,而且表現不錯。
14:51
They have billions of dollars of revenue from this AI accelerator that they didn't have last year.
他們從 AI 加速器上賺進了數十億美元的營收,這是他們去年沒有的。
14:56
So they're doing way better, but compared to the tens of billions of dollars that Jensen's bringing in at Nvidia are a long way behind.
所以他們的表現好很多了,但與黃仁勳(Jensen)在輝達賺進的數百億美元相比,還是落後一大截。
15:03
Let's talk a little bit about the geography.
我們來談談地理分佈。
15:05
How did the chip industry become so concentrated in Taiwan?
晶片產業是怎麼變得如此集中在台灣的?
15:08
The industry is concentrated in South Korea, in memory, in Taiwan with logic manufacturing.
這個產業在記憶體方面集中在韓國,在邏輯製造方面集中在台灣。
