Computer Basics : How Does a Microchip Work?
A microchip is a collection of a large number of transistors in a very small package, and there are a couple of basic function of these transistors. Find out how microchip transistors function as amplifiers and switches with help from an IT professional in this free video on how microchips work.Expert: Matt Berkowitz Contact: enduserblues.blogspot.com/ Bio: Matt Berkowitz is an IT professional specializing in end-user support for internal networking and hardware-related functions.

that was a xbox 360 board
@samuelmichaud man i feel the same way as you, i understand curcuits in like the electrician field, its just the flow of electricity, but how circuits do all this crap with the help of switches in chips, fuken youtube, teach me right >:-(
PERFECT for my research paper, the transistor part was confusing me
good for you man! me too, i have wanted to be since i was your age as well, stick to your guns at school, get into a good college and the possibilities are endless, trust me, hard work pays off
Yeah people are fucktards, i can’t find a proper explanation. “HOW A MICROCHIP WORKS, it’s in your computer and it has transistors in it and it converts into binary and blah blah blah, its amazing!”
That’s how it’s made, and what it does. Not how it works. FUCK
yeah um that really didn’t explain how a microchip works.
i will totaly explain it to you
Pretty much what I knew lol…
Oh, and it can multiply. Generally a microprocessor implements some form of a pyramid multiplier as is found in Donald Knuth’s Art of Computer Programming Volume 2. Far too complex to describe here though.
As mentioned by xj2yzz said, it adds negatives which is the same as subtraction. So first you perform a binary inversion against the subtrahend, add one to the result, then add the the sum to the minuend to find the difference.
This didnt explain much. I thought I might finally learn what a chip does — I am still waiting.
mm its interesting how a cpu cant do somthing that i could do in second grade it just goes to show that we still have ways to go with technology
Well it actually doesn’t add negatives. It almost seems a CPU was designed by accountants. It uses entries vs counter entries to get teh job done just like ledgers.
Learn how to subtract with binary it blows your mind
it also adds negative numbers.
Did you know a CPU can only Add? That blows peoples minds away how it does all math calculation using addition.
doesn’t matter what does the 360 has, it always broke down.
That was cool, always a mystery till now. Also it’s been a while since eHow uploaded something worth watching!
thanks im 13 but right now i think i wanna be a computer engineer thanks for the basics
Cool, Thanks for The info
