What does the company's name stand for?

My name is Johnathan Smith, I'm the founder and owner of The PC Smith1. The name of my company is a play-on-words. My last name is "Smith" and I fix computers, so naturally I'm like a blacksmith for computers. Hence, the name "PC Smith." The number "1" however, has several different meanings. In binary computer code, the number "1" means "true." I wanted my company's name to stand for "true and honest" business. Lastly, the "1" also represents the QUALITY of services, upgrades, and computers that we offer our clients. In other words, we are "number 1" or "the best" at what we do!

Tip #4: "The Silicon Lottery"

Not all computer parts are created equal, even if they are the exact same part. Lets say you have an Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor and your friend has the exact same processor. You attempt to overclock it from 5.2 ghz. to 5.4ghz. (5400 mhz.) on all the cores, but your computer constantly crashes during gaming and graphic design workloads. Yet, you have a friend who has the EXACT same custom pc build as you. You both have the SAME motherboard, processor, cooler, case, RAM, graphics card, power supply, etc. Your friend's Ryzen 7 9800X3D can overclock to 5.4 ghz. no problem at 1.25 V and 88 degrees Celsius max temperature (under full cpu load). You find that you can only overclock yours to 5.3 ghz. (5300 mhz.) on all cores at 1.3 V. and the max temperature is 91 degrees Celsius. Why is that?

The answer is "The Silicone Lottery." Intel and AMD have to bid to buy silicone wafers (imagine a thin slab of silicone 1 ft. x 1 ft. or bigger) from manufacturers in order to make their processors. Each wafer/set of wafers has a certain purity level (Purity levels are based on how much of the wafer is "PURE Silicone" and how much of it has impurities like small bits of bad metal alloys or other debris). Lets say AMD buys 10 silicone wafers at 85% purity level for their Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Let's pretend that AMD can produce 10,000 Ryzen 7 9800X3Ds from the 10 wafers. Then 1 month later AMD sells all their Ryzen 7 9800X3Ds. Now they need to buy more silicone wafers to make more processors. This time, Intel bids higher than AMD at the auction, and Intel buys the 10 wafers at 85% purity. Now AMD is forced buy lower quality silicone wafers at 78% purity.

So even though you and your friend both have Ryzen 7 9800X3Ds, their purity levels are probably different. Hence the reason why one Ryzen 7 9800X3D may overclock better, require less voltage, and run at a much cooler temperature than another Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
