Howdy!

For the first newly recorded episode of Die Shrink of 2021, I think it should be an honest conversation with you, the fans.  I want to talk about the state of the channel, where it hopes to go, and where you all want it to go.
For this Die Shrink, please submit any and all (well thought out and written) telegrams detailing the following:

  • What do you enjoy the most about MLID content? What really keeps you coming back?
  • What content do you wish there was more focus on, or less focus on? (Be gentle here, many fans may have different tastes than you)
  • What content or service provided really justifies supporting the Patreon for you?
  • What subjects do you want MLID to focus on more this year?  (Pure gaming, leaks, ideas, etc)

This is a Die Shrink for you, the fans, and for MLID itself to learn from and grow.  Again, be gentle - but this is an episode about feedback.  This is an episode about deciding how we should grow the channel, and the content provided by it, in 2021!
Regards,

NOTE: You have until Thursday Afternoon US Central Time (1/14/21) to have your questions considered.

I really wouldn’t change much. The winning formula is insider leaks/news, perspectives of industry professionals, and technical details where appropriate to explain to the audience why things are the way the are.

I like the leak coverage, interviews with industry experts, and standard news coverage. But what the fans really want is for Dan to take the lead. He can cover the tech news calling it "Dan's Details" and Tom could handle all the leak stuff.

Insight of engineers and technicality are the main reasons I watch. This is really the only place that doesn't use puffery too much.

You are really doing a great job with the coverage of the leaks you currently cover. I know as time goes on you will be able to do more content. As we all know the leaking industry can be factory fast sometimes but it also has dead spots so it's hard to always have content to produce more than one a week. I am in the gaming leaking side of the internet so I understand the content restraints. Regardless of the leaking side of your channel the insights you have on subjects is really good and I'm hoping we can come out with more ways to get you to use your knowledge for our own content benifits. One more thing. I don't know how much info you know about this but the gaming industry on the fps side of things (with the biggest being cod) had gone with this new free content paid looks method which looks nice on paper but what we have seen so far is that we get far less overall content than we did before. Do you prefer this new method or would you rather have paid dlc with lots more content (for example cod games have 50% less maps overall by the end of the *dlc* season since it went free.

Thanks for doing what you do. I hope sometime in the future that you could get possibly another one or two people to help with production so you could focus on what you do best. It would be a tragedy for you to get to burn't out to try and keep a pace that's to much for you and Dan. I think the hardware leaks and technical details is what you shine on. Side note, there needs to be a drinking game for everytime Dan says " um, I mean, ya." Fanboy winter is what made me join patreon. A rant die shrink every once in awhile to get all the bullshit out could be fun also. Love you guys. Thanks

More mobile APU leaks and speculation would be nice, seeing as I don't know of any other channels doing much coverage of those topics. The current AMD/Intel offerings for mobile APUs are super interesting and I can't wait to hear about what else both companies have in the works. I also totally understand why you focused more on the desktop market towards the end of last year though, given the hype surrounding this new generation of graphics cards.

Great show, keep it the way it is. Would be an interesting discussion if you could get folks such as Frank Azor for an episode.

Anonymous

I would like to hear more about risc-v or the fpga industry. I enjoy hearing people talk about their industries. The talks about supply issues got old quick, and found myself listening less.

Joined when I was hunting for a GPU. Took your advice and passed ona 5700xt to wait for the latest gen and mostly don't regret it (regret for reasons out of anyones control.) The advanced news is what originally hooked me but I have been enjoying the longer form discussions more and more playing that in the background as I work during the day. It fills a niche of semi-approachable tech podcasts that contrast with my current slate of politics, foreign policy and finance podcasts. Content wise: I really enjoyed the talk with the analyst (might be confusing this with an Odd Lots) and some of the deeper chats about the structure of the industry. I think a content series that might have a lot of value would be your take on an intro to GPUs/ Semis etc. What's the prior reading that would help me fully appreciate the content as a curious person who doesn't professionally work in semis or as an engineer. This might include 2-3 books to recommend or blog posts. Like a stepped up version of LTT's tech quickies so to speak. Could be a neat hook or long term project to sporadically throw in with regular content. Would love if you could pull a sell-side analyst on to interview every once in a bit to contrast their understanding against yours. I started spending a lot of time listening to the content. It's also reasonably often (ok quite frequent.) You reminded me this wouldn't exist without sponsorship and I realized I was investing a lot of time listening through the episodes. As I stated above, I would love if MLID could devote some time to providing me the tools to help understand the more technical interviews. Specifically with a gaming focus- How important is the amount of available vram vs the bus size vs where we might guess the avg game will use in 5 years.

I think the best thing about MLID is the glimpses into the future combined with well grounded analysis... The analysis has come a long way since the start of the channel which is always nice to see. Personally I would push for more technical content, but I think skipping back and forward between the more "casual" and technical stuff is probably the best of both worlds since I think it gets a lot of people more interested in that side of things. The most valuable thing to me is probably being able to have those insights as to what is going on, Tom generally covers most of the stuff I'd want to know about and skips over a lot of the same stuff I'd skip. I'd like to see more regular leak content, not necessarily extremely polished stuff but things that are more out on a limb. I think there's always some room for a bit of "well that didn't pan out"... That and more content with industry experts, this will undoubtedly end up being more technical, but I think it would be interesting to expand in different fields of technical, not just the more manufacturing and server focused content that has been covered so far.

Tom, I need you to validate my hardware choices, parrot my fanboy takes, and make sure I'm pledging my undying loyalty to the right massive corporation (Kidding!). I really find the behind-the-scenes info about the often painful and difficult process of creating new technology to be the main appeal of the channel. While the leaks and insider info are great, just having a level headed discussion about how "the sausage is made" is the kind of content I tend to enjoy the most. While plenty of other channels provide reviews, benchmarks, but only you are focused on providing a very interesting look at the business of cutting-edge tech, without any sucking up or sugar-coating. As far as the Patreon, getting to interact with you, submit questions, and get regular bonus podcasts is all the rewards I need, so I feel I’m definitely getting my money’s worth. Thanks for everything and cheers to a tech filled 2021. May all your fabric be infinity and your VRam buffer expansive.

I’d love to hear more in the game development methods companies are taking. How are massive open world environments made? What kind of hardware are the devs using to create their games. What makes a good story mode/ multiplayer mode? What makes a company develop on a certain engine? Why is more not being invested in VR? What would developers like to see more from hardware makers? With newer hard learn constantly on the rise how do PC game makers figure out that their game will run smoothly/avoid the cyberpunk issues? I really enjoy the technical deep dives! Would love a session or two on unique topics where computing and graphics and gaming meet the real world. Also wouldn’t mind a segment from Dan on his top wishes from pc manufactures for things like labs and the workplace.

I come into notice of MLID back in 2018. But what makes me become a patreon is the interview with server engineer in and some analysis of leaks you did around 2019. What impressed me the most of MLID is the depth of guests and informers you get accessed to, and the work you did to makes sense of information. So we normies got a peak of what behind the curtain of the semiconductor industry, not only on consumer electronics , but also the tech that support the society. Also, a little bit of behind the scenes info ,taking down marketing BS and current hardware market does a lot for me too. I become a patreon not seeking for extra value or content, tbh I am not very into discord and I don't have time to listen to every die shrink podcast. I just want to give me little to help your chennal to stay independent, and keep creating content without the pressure of sponsors and video target.

I found you early 2020, I was a little starved of Jim's of Adored TV indepth analysis videos at the time. I Enjoy the leak videos to help keep track of the of the Industry. But what keeps me coming back (and patreon) are the podcasts with other industry technical experts. Thanks, an Electrical Engineer

Mican Andrews

I'm so over tech reviewers Honestly I don't watch gpu reviews or gpu content anymore it's just depressing I like that you have a place to drop your opinion and not be judged like on youtube.

Anonymous

Hi Tom and Dan, Thanks for all the great content. I love your channel because you find the perfect balance between leaks, news and knowledge and you're even able to connect these fields so we understand how this industry works. I can't really find something I would change deeply because everyone has his preference so I guess just stick to your guns and you will get even better in the niche you found. I think it is the best to be the best in a niche, so don't go too wide. But for the fun you could talk sometimes about a piece of Hardware (like a new Laptop you think is perfect or a silly piece of Hardware). You could call it "Hardware of the week or month" or something like that :)

Hello. The reason I became a patreon is the earliest possible access to leaks. I am especially interested in the development of new technologies, so currently TSMC's 3nm node and Intel's 7nm node. I am also interested in the development of new consumer products from AMD, Nvidia and Intel. Thank you for all your work.

Anonymous

Hi Tom and Dan, first, thank you so much for all the hard work! I became a patreon because I found myself watching and listening to everything you would upload. When I realized that your stuff was what I was most excited about seeing in my subscription box and rss feed I thought I should probably become a patreon. Simply to say thank you ... and to help ensure that the good stuff would keep coming ... and the fact that I got something extra with die shrink probably also helped a little bit. :) I also enjoy the discord and the fact that I have a place where I can just drop a weird hardware question from time to time and get actually useful answeres. It is so much better than most of the tech forums that I used to go to. What I enjoy most about the podcast: Well, first I do like daydreaming and speculation. I find it fun to think about what could be. I also enjoy it when people talk passionately about there industry and why what they do is important. But I think MLID is at its best when you really go into detail about the tech that makes it all possible. When you dive into papers or books. When you explain how something works and how exactly particular new features and changes make it more efficient. (I love efficiency!) So, for me, getting more of those technical deep dives (alone or with guest) would be amazing. But I understand that this stuff can be really exhausting, so history, speculation, news or just rambling are always very welcome. At this point, I think, I just enjoy listening to you two and your guests. I don't care if you talk about Intel, AMD, Nvidia, ARM, RiscV, Nuvia or what else there is. Just talk about what is interesting. I trust your judgment on that. :) Greetings from Germany and thank you for supporting the Linsen-Chips industry! Adrian

1:What do you enjoy the most about MLID content? What really keeps you coming back? What really keeps me coming back is the fact that here I can find very technical discussions which are not on gaming topics and also my questions can be read and answer. 2:What content do you wish there was more focus on, or less focus on? (Be gentle here, many fans may have different tastes than you) I wish there was more focus on the technical side of IT and hardware and I was going to be really happy if there were some episodes/topics on open hardware and open software. 3:What content or service provided really justifies supporting the Patreon for you? Well reading and awsering the questions which I submit ,as well being part of the community and supporting this thech inside source. 4:What subjects do you want MLID to focus on more this year? (Pure gaming, leaks, ideas, etc) I wish you could focus more on ideas,technical discussions and leaks

KarbinCry

I would like you to focus more on the topic of how evil the "IPC" and its usage in tech media are. Down with IPC!

Anonymous

I would love to hear about the availability of GPUs and CPUs in Dieshrinks more. Also, I really love the content about Intel Xe discrete graphics card cause it would bring even more competition to the GPU market which is always good for the price. Hope we get more information about it. Moreover, I would like to hear more Zen 3+ leaks because it would make sense to release 5nm Zen 3+ on AM4 for people owning Zen 2 to have reason to upgrade( A two-generation-ish upgrade Zen2 to Zen3+ with maybe more than 20% performance improvements due to IPC and 5nm node) and squeeze out one last profit from the AM4 platform.

I love the technical discussions and gpu leaks mixed with your opinion. No opinion on the focus as it suits me very well at the moment. MLID’s leaks opinion and advice helped me make two smart buying decisions in 2020 and saved me money compared to what I was very close to buying just before following the channel.

Hey Tom and Dan, and/or doggos present. What I like most about MLID is the professional, yet relaxed presentation. You both bring forth the facts, stated professionally and calmly. It's like watching the news. For me, I would like more focus on corporate news, interviews with engineers or other members who have worked in the field. As for what service justifies the Patreon, is just that I find the MLID team handles things very professionally. In 2021, I'd like to see a continuing focus on interviews with engineers or business people. Thanks!

thunder-heron

- I really like the lenghty conversations you have with Dan and your other guests. I don't have a lot of people to discuss tech with and I don't enjoy writing on forums so it's really great to be able to share this passion indirectly through your podcasts. I find the business side of things just as interesting as the tech side. Watching news, product reviews, hardware showcases gets old really quickly so it's great that your content focuses more on the bigger picture as well as the really in depth industry side of things such as yesterday's fantastic podcast. I think a lot of people follow you for your shorter, more straight to the point videos but I'm here mainly for the Broken Silicon and Die Shrink podcasts. Broken Silicon alone is enough for me to support you on Patreon. Keep getting interesting guests as regularly as you've been doing and I've got no reason to complain. Keep the leaks coming too! It's always entertaining.

Hello Tom and Dan! I subscribed last year after hearing about your Die Shrink content on Patreon, and as someone who can’t get enough of your content, I was in. My first and only Patreon sub btw! I enjoy all of your content, but I am most interested in discussions about future technologies and the way the industry is evolving, examples being APUs being the mainstream option in the future and ARM becoming more prevalent, if not the dominant force in the PC market. Thank you and have a great day.

Hey Tom and Dan. I found yall's channel during the start of quarantine last year, and the thing I enjoy the most about MLID content is that you have very credible sources and your leaks have been very accurate for alot of the tech releases in 2020. You also have amazing guests on broken silicon that give unique perspectives on tech topics. That alone is worth me supporting on Patreon, although having access to Die Shrinks, the discord, and flyover states doesn't hurt. I think the topics you cover are great as they are, and I look forward to the content y'all produce in 2021.

Tom &amp; Dan, I support you guys to stay on top of what's going on with GPU's, CPU's and the tech market. Learning about guys like Hardware Numbers is huge. I also support PC Perspective &amp; Level One Techs, but you do a better job of showing what's coming and going on in the industry... On the gaming end I'm more into role playing games. (Recent titles include Wasteland 3, Battletech by Hairbrained Schemes, and I love Cyberpunk 2077) I played the pen and paper version of Cyberpunk as a teenager in the 90's. I listen to you guys in between episodes of the No Agenda Podcast. My everyday carry is a Glock 19 by Boresight Solutions. Cheers

What keeps me coming back is the community. Here I have a place, a home. No one cares about tech as much as me, everyone who I talk to pretends to listen and care, but eventually don’t care to listen. It’s hard talking to people who don’t care what you think. Here is have a home, friends, a community and can give me feedback and tell me I’m an idiot and explain why so I can actually learn. You could stop making as much content, and I’d still comeback, because I have a family. I’ve only been here for a few weeks, but I’ve learned so much more during that time than I have trying to learn by myself

Keep buliding on the quality content have enjoyed the growth thus far, def looking foward to the competition in the market keep pointing it out as you always do. But its the main reason for the stagnation we all suffered during the last few years ( ie 4 core intel 'high end'') see if you can continue to expand the roster of technical interviewers and I really Look foward to the channel maturing and becoming more enthralling.

Authoritarrr

Hey Tom and Dan, I really enjoy your brazen honesty and the brotherly banter on the channel. There aren't many people amongst my friends who are as excited about tech as I am and who I can discuss tech with in the way that you two do. So that keeps me coming back. In line with enjoying your personal takes on things, I'd personally like to see a little bit more content on the games you play and your takes on the gaming industry beyond just hardware. In regards to supporting the Patreon, your podcasts have helped me to be a more considerate, aware, and responsible consumer. I also really enjoy the less formal nature of the Die Shrinks and the increased amount of content available to patrons. So that's what justifies it for me. Cheers you two!

In short in depth technical analyses and interviews, pretty much as you are doing, love it.

Alexander

I think I'm too late, but, I enjoy the podcast for the educated discussions. I frequently learn about new things from you, which is always fun. Honestly until recently I haven't followed tech news closely at all, and it was kind of your youtube vids (along with r/buildapc) that got me into it. I've built my PC now and thought my interest would drop off but so far it hasn't. I've never owned a console and probably won't ever, but despite that your next gen console coverage has even interested me. To be more constructive, I'd say the things I'd enjoy more of are (in no particular order): games discussion; game leaks; discussions of hardware that's still way off (5+ years out) but seems cool/promising, things to look forward to in other words; also what will games/software be like in a longer timespan as well; as someone who owns both PCs and Macs and in general prefers the Apple environment, discussions of apple related stuff are always welcome, though I think you actually do a pretty good job of that already; video editing software/hardware maybe? been getting into After Effects lately myself, not sure what sort of discussions I'm envisioning, but thought I'd throw that out there. That's all I've got for the moment!

Hey Tom and Dan, I absolutely love the deep technical dives with professionals/subject matter experts (Server guy, SemiWiki guy, Storage guy etc.). I appreciate the historic context wrt how the industry got to where it is, and their thoughts on the direction it's going in. Those episodes alone are worth the Patreon membership for me. I'm also a big fan of the leaks/speculation videos. Right or wrong, they do present an avenue for debate and discussion. Keep them coming!

Anonymous

I felt compelled to join the Patreon after watching the Dave Eggleston and Daniel Nenni interviews! These are some of the best educational content for people like me who are peripherally involved with silicon (deep learning infrastructure) and would like to stay in touch with what's coming next without actually working on the silicon directly. Basically would love to see more technical content directed toward industry professionals instead of primarily gaming! I own a solid CPU/GPU but instead of gaming I overclock it to run fluid simulations written from scratch, which gives you an idea of what kind of person I am in my free time, lol. (Have actually not yet listened to any Die Shrink episodes so looking forward to that.)
