How Do Processors Work?

Video Transcript

"I don't know about this man- oh hi, today we're going to show you how does processors work. "Isn't it just a bigger version of this? Just put on the parts and turn it on. Right?" "How does processors work? Well it's quite complicated. Processors work by subjecting an ingot of pure silicon to short wave, ultra wave, ultra violet radiation until you produce a mask photo hargavyz." Now look it's not quite that easy, but it's not quite that complicated either. Processors basically work by taking information we brought in from a keyboard or a mouse, and taking that information and solving small problems for us, but the do it very, very quickly, millions and millions of calculations per second. Processors are actually just like calculators, except, instead of working with the numbers zero through nine, they only have the numbers zero and one. If the only numbers that you had to work with were zero and one, you can do your math a lot faster. On this tiny little board are many, many layers, a calculation comes across one level, and it says yes or no, if the answer is one way, it'll go to the next layer and continue its calculations until it finally arrives at the answer. Processors work by doing extremely fast calculations, just like our brain, sending that information back out to the computer, it still not as fast as the good old human brain, but remember, read the flipping manual!, that's where you're going to learn all the details that you need to know."
