Get Inside an Intel 45nm Chip Factory

Intel will launch its first 45nm chips made with reinvented transistors that use a new Hafnium-based high-k metal gate recipe. Take a look inside Intel's 45nm factories where these chips get made. See the many layers or floors of the factory and the automated shuttles that take the wafers from one step to another to ultimately produce millions of Intel's 45nm chips. These buildings are some of the cleanest in the world and so large that 17 football fields can fit inside!

24/7 shift-work in a windowless factory with high-stakes and lots of stress. Sounds like fun.

The whole factory is running on AMD processors.

How an AMD looks from the inside...

And that's how aperture started

I spend 3 years in studying intel's and AMD's Microprocessors

Next is Fab 42, the answer to the ultimate question of the universe, life, and everything.

You can always steal the new processors and Motherboards!

"There are more than 568 miles of wiring"

This is enough to stretch 6/7 from Chicago to Memphis.

@yTubeBlowsBigBalls It's the IT military life... Wherever I go, I'm guaranteed to never see the light of day while I work.

[yTubeBlowsBigBalls]

@ftheriachab My condolences. I hope they treat you well!

[ftheriachab]

@yTubeBlowsBigBalls I do this day in day out.

haha no. I just said that to be silly.
