From Sand to Silicon: The Making of a Microchip | Intel

Ever wonder what’s under the hood of your favorite electronic device? The transistor is the engine that powers every Intel processor. To build a modern computer chip, our engineers place billions of these tiny switches into an area no larger than a fingernail. It’s one of mankind’s most complex feats, and it’s happening every day across Intel’s global network of chip manufacturing facilities. Check out this video to learn more about how we turn sand into the silicon chips that power the world.Subscribe now to Intel on YouTube: http://bit.ly/1BZDtpfAbout Intel: Intel, the world leader in silicon innovation, develops technologies, products and initiatives to continually advance how people work and live.
