Silicon computer chip with 1000s of transistors

[alexasmithy]

some really good stuff here

[SuperDogbrown]

love the video man

[MrJonkelp]

very interesting video thanks

[krakow10]

Mindfuck.

[acerjojo12]

I guess this is before the CPU, My Cpu doesnt have ("1000's") of transsiters, It has 4.4 billion (4.4 GHz)

[dimbulb23]

Not sure where this video originated but similar ICs were around in the late 60s. But before you laugh at them and those of us who worked with them, remember it took a lot more skill to find a processor problem when the processor was a few hundred replaceable components instead of a single chip and building a computer wasn't plugging 15 pieces together. I'm very proud of being there near the beginning and seeing the changes.

[johnmacward]

Hilarious, this must have been made in the 1700's.

[TudyCoolboy]

well for example the AMD 6990 has around 5.3 BILLION transistors... so yeah :D

[apl175]

Sounds like David Suzuki

[EVnFluffy]

this is the future

[wasitrealy]

@xxxxleonxxxx Intel Core i7 980X Extreme Edition has 1.1 Billion.

[circusboy90210]

thousands??? wow surrely by now there should be billions of transistors on each one.

[anotherPCfreak]

@xxxxleonxxxx

Look at Fermi from Nvidia:

over 3 Billions O_O

[raidmax98]

Now just add salt and vinegar!

[quangluu96]

@xxxxleonxxxx its already billion, I7 extreme got 1.2Bill

[wasitrealy]

@quangluu96 Oh dang, I thought I was the first one to post that xD.

[quangluu96]

dang this is old, i7 extreme got 1bill transistor HAHA

[DONDIVA1969]

Believe me, if they are good enough to employ in state of the art electronic circuits used in satellites and space telescopes they’re good enough for your stereo at home.

[radicalaceshasbrin]

my brain is more pro than silicon chips

[luigi4562]

My specs:cpu-p2 x6 904,000,000 transistors gpu 5850-2,150,000,000 transistors

[Scelenaarwen]

is there a video that explains how integrated circuits work? not just what they'r made of theres a hugee diffrence

[dizzo95]

@Scelenaarwen search termto use: How Microprocessors Work

[rlinfinity]

@dizzo95 how microprocessors work doesn't tell u how ICs work. that's lower level than processors.

[happygamestvfun1]

@Scelenaarwen serch for "electronics expert vilige" ;)

[ke7eha]

@Scelenaarwen took several courses that tried to explain that. There's enough info to fill several textbooks

[AI2flesh]

old school lol are you a communist or what looooooool-. hahaha

[EXT109]

i cant believe its not butter!!!

[bpyjktgiuk]

Brain chip - CHECK MY SITE.

[gfyhdhbyhgj]

No, trilions...

[dummkopf26]

I always wondered who and how they made such small things

[detibry]

@dummkopf26 robots and they grow them layer by layer.

[SpicyHam]

@dummkopf26 yeah you should wonder.

[dedokta]

@dummkopf26 They actually create the circuits graphically and then produce a photo of the end result. a negative of the image is the focused onto the silicon plate at a much reduced level and the image burns away the unwanted sections. This explanation is not entirely accurate, but it gives you the basic idea.

[Patriotfrosh15]

omg, everything is so small now

[Sambachick24]

theres around a quarter of a billion transistors on average. they use many methods to layer them on a microscopic scale.

[SpinDizzyMR]

Disapointing, this video tells you nothing you wouldn't have worked out just by looking at any circuit board with the naked eye.

[crazybigyo]

how can you make something that small?

[VideyoJunkei]

it is a photographic process..sort of like exposing picture film.

[1NX9]

@crazybigyo

Its known as photolithography.

I'm getting into the microchip engineering business.

I would really like to get into nanotechnology ultimately.

[dadwara]

and?
