Silicon Underground (Dave F)<p>On April 2, 1997, AMD released a new CPU. If it succeeded, AMD had a chance at success. If it failed, AMD would probably fail with it. That CPU was the K6, and it revitalized AMD, letting them move to the middle of the market, where margins were high enough to fund its future CPUs. <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/TechHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TechHistory</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/ComputerArchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ComputerArchitecture</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Innovation</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/TechMilestones" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TechMilestones</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/1990sTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1990sTech</span></a> <a href="https://dfarq.homeip.net/amd-k6-released-april-2-1997/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dfarq.homeip.net/amd-k6-releas</span><span class="invisible">ed-april-2-1997/</span></a></p>

Silicon Underground (Dave F)<p>39 years ago, Microsoft held its very successful IPO. Microsoft didn't need the money, but were essentially forced into it. It made Bill Gates filthy rich and put Microsoft on the map. The search for the next Microsoft led to the dotcom bubble. <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/MicrosoftIPO" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MicrosoftIPO</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/BillGates" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BillGates</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/TechHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TechHistory</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/DotcomBubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DotcomBubble</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SiliconValley</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/StartupCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StartupCulture</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/1980sTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1980sTech</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/TechMilestones" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TechMilestones</span></a> <a href="https://dfarq.homeip.net/microsofts-1986-ipo/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">dfarq.homeip.net/microsofts-19</span><span class="invisible">86-ipo/</span></a></p>
