Howdy everyone.
When explaining how a computer works -- I can do a pretty decent job until I get to the CPU. Yes, the "brain" of the computer.
I am not a math guy. I have a really difficult time explaining this in general terms to anyone.
I understand they employ the use of "logic gates" and outrageously small transistors. I sorta get it. But not really.
Do any of you know of a really good video or website that can explain from the very beginning how a CPU works? Both mathematically and physically over the course of its extremely long evolution?
What I find is that most videos skip over the beginning part and then blather on about how amazing all the tech is these days. That's great -- but I don't get the beginnings.
I've watched hundreds of videos. So, please, don't tell me to "search youtube" or anything like that.
Thanks everyone! D:
