How do CPUs actually work? Design PCB's with Altium: https://engmind.info/Altium How does a CPU use billions of microscopic transistors to perform calculations and run software? In this video, we work from individual MOSFETs through logic gates, binary arithmetic and full adders to the ALU and CPU core. See how processors fetch and execute instructions, how registers and L1, L2 and L3 cache work, how data moves between the CPU, RAM and storage, and why modern CPUs use multiple cores. We also compare CPUs and GPUs, explain why GPUs contain billions of transistors, and show why their parallel architecture is so effective for graphics and AI. Topics include transistors, MOSFETs, logic gates, binary, CPU architecture, ALU, registers, cache, RAM, GPUs and AI. 🎁 Design, review, and manage PCBs in one connected environment with Altium Designer.
