Показать описание
Ever wonder what’s under the hood of your favorite electronic device? The transistor is the engine that powers every Intel processor. To build a modern computer chip, our engineers place billions of these tiny switches into an area no larger than a fingernail. It’s one of mankind’s most complex feats, and it’s happening every day across Intel’s global network of chip manufacturing facilities. Check out this video to learn more about how we turn sand into the silicon chips that power the world.

About Intel:
Intel, the world leader in silicon innovation, develops technologies, products and initiatives to continually advance how people work and live. Founded in 1968 to build semiconductor memory products, Intel introduced the world's first microprocessor in 1971. This decade, our mission is to create and extend computing technology to connect and enrich the lives of every person on Earth.

No matter who's winning or losing, Intel or AMD, they have played huge part in the history of human life. I respect them!

I like Intel's audacity to allow comments.

I have a degree in IT and i'm still amazed at all of this. It truly is the most incredible thing to me. My mind is just blown that humans somehow figured out how to make an inanimate object that is so tiny and sophisticated calculate and understand our instructions. It is absolutely incredibly mindblowing.

AMD v intel can go all day long, but still the capabilities and design of microprocessors still blows my mind.

"just remember that a CPU is literally a rock that we tricked into thinking."

what an unreal feat!

"Limitless potential"
How about 7nm?

It's almost beyond comprehension that the human mind could conceive and build these type of microchips. The complexity is mind blowing. It's one of humankinds greatest achievements that many people just take for granted, but they really shouldn't.

Video: Intel was the first to manufacture 3-d transistors called FinFETs.
AMD: They are also the first to manufacture CPU's.

All that video and not a single mention of IC layout designers. We're the ones who design everything.

Plot twist: The whole video was edited on a AMD rig




Edit: there’s a war going down in the replies

This is actually really cool, no matter who is winning the "CPU war" it is really cool to see how they are made, and it is nice that Intel made this video.

We've underappreciated the amazing feats technology has attained. This video feels like a video game cutscene.
