The CPU: From Conception to Birth

Posted by michael on from the cradle-to-grave dept.

CrzyP writes "Most of us have seen flowcharts and heard lectures on how a CPU functions in a computer. What a lot of us do not know, however, is how a CPU is created. Sudhian describes the step-by-step process of how a CPU is made, from grains of sand to a wafer of circuits. Ahhh sand, the building block of life...in the tech world!"

    If it is secret, how do you know about this? I smell a false god.

    Um, phallus is good. Gina is better. And hermaphroditic Siamese twins are best of all.
