After Brian and I had left, Vince, Simon, and Peter continued benching late into the night.

Conclusion

I had a blast visiting AMD’s Austin campus and burning up nitrogen and silicon for them. Judging by how successful the event was and the fact that K|ngp|n was so very close to 7GHz, I wouldn’t be surprised if a similar event occurred in the near future. I’d like to once again thank all the individuals I met at AMD, you guys were a great group of people.
