I've watched the talk in 2022 between Linus and Pat. It's a common talk as a company PR but I think Pat showed me that he is a real engineer to drive this huge and years-old company, not the Wall Street managers.

For anyone interested, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m4hlWx7oRk.

In that video, Linus says he used Pat Gelsinger's book, Programming the 80386, as a reference when working on parts of the Linux kernel.

It's cool to see how Pat’s work helped developers like Linus.

Feels like leading the design of the 486 was probably more significant then coauthoring a book on the 386?

Different kinds of help - the book directly teaches people how to program, the other enables new types of programs. Both useful!
