What is a CPU? What is a Processor made up of (IN Simple Words) ?

Well dear readers today we will take a look at what a processor is made up of and different components it contains and also we will decipher this technical mambo jumbo for you.

This figure illustrates the innards of a typical generic processor or CPU as well all know. The thin wires are visible and connected to this main sort of a chip die. The center rectangle is the main heart of our processor. The basic building block of any processor are transistors. Billions and Quadrillions of them.

Microprocessors

Processor	Transistor count	Date of introduction
Quad-core + GPU AMD Trinity	1,303,000,000	2012
Quad-core z196	1,400,000,000	2010
Quad-core + GPU Core i7 Ivy Bridge	1,400,000,000	2012
Quad-core + GPU Core i7 Haswell	1,400,000,000	2014

How do we create processors?

We take a raw silicone and then melt it to form an ingot.

Afterwards we spin this ingot to form a wafer which is thoroughly tested with lasers for its the precision in its surface.

The wafer is cut in to smaller cubes for each processor.

After a bit of etching and cleaning the wafer is ready.

Its now ready to be installed in the processor die and then the wires are connected.

Its a very delicate process.

Warning: A More Deadly Mutant strain of Corona virus is spreading

According to scientists a new strain of mutated corona virus is in the air. It allows the virus to become more deadly and infect more cells. The mutation, named D614G, increased the number of “spikes” on the coronavirus - which is the part that gives it its distinctive shape. Those spikes are what allow the virus to bind to and infect cells These are some precautions to take: STAY HOME. SAVE LIVES. Help stop coronavirus 1 STAY home as much as you can 2 KEEP a safe distance 3 WASH hands o

Exploring Simulation Theory: Are We Living in a Computer-Generated Reality?

Reality has always been a subject of philosophical and scientific inquiry, with countless questions arising about its nature and existence. One intriguing and somewhat controversial concept that has gained popularity in recent years is Simulation Theory. This theory proposes that our reality is not what it seems, suggesting that we might actually be living in a computer-generated simulation. In this blog post, we'll dive into the fascinating world of Simulation Theory, examining its origins, key proponents, and the arguments both for and against it. The Origins of Simulation Theory Simulation Theory, while a contemporary idea, has roots in ancient philosophical ponderings about the nature of reality. Plato, for instance, mused about the existence of a "shadow world" where the true reality of objects could be found, beyond the realm of our senses. However, the modern concept of Simulation Theory owes much of its popularity to philosopher Nick Bostrom. In 2003, Bostrom publ
