I always been curious as to how CPUs are designed and the steps it takes to put together a new core.
So i guess some of my questions are:
Can cores be manufactured at any micron size, are the cores just blueprint designs that are imput into computers and printed on silicon?
Is each transistor in a CPU been put where it is for specific reasons? Or do they say, "yea, we need allot of transistors on this part, yep"?
Why the fug does it take so long to design a chip? What is the average ammount of time it takes to design a CPU.
Answer all this and ill give you a cookie! :gift::beer:
