I want to manufacture graphics cards, is nanoelectronics the best thing to study?

[Gizmo j]

Are the other chips besides the GPU integrated circuits?

Is the ram a integrated circuit as well?

If you're asking these questions you have quite a lot to learn...

Ram, microcontrollers, op amps etc are all ICs. Lots of other misc components on there too, like possibly digital temp sensors and SMPS controllers etc too, all ICs.

 

[Gizmo j]

Another question, on a sound card or hifi amp+dac's are those chips integrated circuits as well?

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Is this guy for real?

 

[WelshBloke]

Does this thread keep getting locked and unlocked?

I'm so confused!

 

[Red Squirrel]

It looks like there are two that are basically the same.

He wanted to 3D print a gaming laptop factory, from within a storage unit... I am gonna go with trolling.

It looks like there are two that are basically the same.

But they are on at least another website.
For example, here:

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answe...aphics-cards-nanoelectronics-thing-study.html

There have been at least 3 on this forum alone.

It might be an automatic-SPAM bot type of device.

Or someone who is cross-posting the same threads, all over the place, or at least on two different websites.

I've not spent the time to find out how many forums are involved, but there are at least two.

Also is a graphics card/GPU considered a 'integrated circuit'?

Three just on this forum, are here:

Rather bizarre. Wonder what the point of that is.

Maybe it is a younger person, who doesn't use google yet, or someone messing around for kicks (Trolling).

I'll be nice and assume the former...

I made more threads on different websites to get more responses....

IC: Just a "black box" with microscopic circuitry within. And there are pinouts to input or receive data or interface with it. Data in, data out

 

[snoopy7548]

My computer case is a black box with microscopic circuitry, so it's an IC. Maybe OP just wants to assemble a computer?

 

[PottedMeat]

what kind of parental control software restricts general searches but allows forum shitposting?

The OP wants what it wants. We can't stop it.

If you pour potting material inside the case, does it technically make it an IC?

 

[ultimatebob]

I think that the OP needs to start with basic Electronics and Computer Science in high school, then move onto some Electrical Engineering classes.

Or, he could just get a job with Nvidia’s or AMD’s social media marketing department as a video card forum troll... he seems to have a knack for it

Who knows, Intel or even Apple might have their own succesful video card line by then.

There are books, websites, google searches, wikis and all sorts of other information sources available. To learn about Electronics, Software/Computing and Computer Graphics/Cards.

You would be better referring/reading to them and/or speaking to people knowledgeable about such things.

Than repeating exactly the same, (apparently poorly constructed question(s)), all over the place.

Example:
I am very interested in graphics cards and how they are designed and made.
Can anyone point me to any good internet websites, which can explain this to me ?

>>Here you go
https://www.techradar.com/uk/news/computing-components/graphics-cards/how-gpus-are-made-1000923

Free extract of article:

Designing a general processing unit doesn't start with any thought of transistors or copper tracks, but with something called the product requirement specification, or PRS - a prioritised definition of all the features the new chip must have. It might not sound wildly exciting, but the PRS acts as the checklist throughout the whole design process.

Which major focuses more on nanoelectronics, electrical engineering or computer engineering?

 

[whm1974]

Start with Basic Electronics first. I don't think Nonoelectronics is even a field yet.

Nanoelectronics is a field.

Well that is new to me, I thought it was still an area of research.

I don't think it has got anything to do with graphics cards, as regards the current technology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanoelectronics

It seems to involve things like Carbon nano-tubes and other, similar, tiny structures.
Although these are used in some fields of electronics, such as modern sensors and things.
They don't make graphics cards as such with them.

The one complication is that the feature size of the latest integrated circuits, such as graphics processors. Is gradually becoming so tiny, that it could be classed as nanoelectronics.
But my opinion is that nanoelectronics has got nothing to do with graphics cards (with the possible exception of ones opinion/theory on the tiniest integrated circuits and how they are made).

tl;dr
I suspect nanoelectronics is the wrong thing to study, if you are purely interested in graphics cards and their manufacture/design.

But if you are going to study some stuff, it is best to check with the place of study (and other sources), as to how useful and what it can be used for.

I have a question for you.
Why all this interest/mentioning of nanoelectronics ?

(Please don't tell me you are creating threads all over the internet), to promote/sell some book or course on nanoelectronics ?

@SOFTengCOMPelec

I read that GPUs and other computer parts were in the nanometer scale so I thought nanoelectronics were important.
