Silicon Valley and Hsinchu, 1987 to 2025. Morris Chang builds a factory that makes other people's chips and nothing of its own. Six years later three engineers meet in a Denny's in East San Jose and start a company to draw triangles faster for video games. Neither set out to build the machinery of artificial intelligence. What connects them is a bargain nobody signed: a company that designs and does not manufacture, a manufacturer that designs nothing, and a kind of arithmetic that turns out to suit both. This is an account of how a consumer graphics part became the scarcest industrial good on earth, told from inside the engineering decisions, most of which were made for other reasons and several of which were nearly fatal. Covers Morris Chang, Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, Curtis Priem, Ian Buck, TSMC, and Nvidia.
