The Hidden Price Behind Your Chip!
Ever wondered how much it actually costs to build a CPU?
In this video, the Craig ‘n’ Dave lesson Hacker takes you through the insanely complex and costly process of creating the CPUs we rely on daily, from atomic-scale transistors to the cutting-edge brainpower behind it all.
It’s not just about silicon and a bit of heat—it’s a high-stakes game of precision, technology, and eye-watering costs. From the £8,000+ price tag for a single usable silicon wafer to the mind-blowing £16 billion price of building a state-of-the-art factory (a /”fab/”), the cost of making a CPU is nothing short of jaw-dropping!
Hit play to see just how much goes into building the tiny chip that powers your tech!
