HWCooling Techtour ’26 was built around Ryzen 9000 series CPUs. Among other things, these were also available at the booth, and the schools learned various details that could be described as “already available.” By that we mean various pieces of information that students and teachers had only learned secondhand, for example on the internet. Now, however, a representative of AMD came, gave a talk, showed…
There was a lot of technology at the AMD booth. That is, in tangible form. Students at the schools where we were present in person had the opportunity to stop by and look at whatever interested them.
The schools that joined online, and there were slightly more of them, had a similar experience, just through a display device in their classroom. What took place in Martin (and earlier in Poprad) was still live. That means that, as part of the program, the schools could follow everything in real time. And then they could also take part in an interactive quiz, whose winners also won an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X processor, among other things.
In his block, Krzysztof Luka (AMD) also had block diagrams in his presentation to explain how the individual parts communicate with one another. Of the processor, but also of other components tied to it.
There was also room for follow-up questions from students in the audience…
… these were the subject of an activity that was recorded. Often precisely from the area near the AMD exhibit, which was, incidentally, closest to the stage.
There was more at the AMD booth, but if anything attracted particular attention, it was the substrate of an Epyc processor with 128 cores of the Zen 5 architecture.
