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

No matter who's winning or losing, Intel or AMD, they have played huge part in the history of human life. I respect them!

AMD v intel can go all day long, but still the capabilities and design of microprocessors still blows my mind.

I have a degree in IT and i'm still amazed at all of this. It truly is the most incredible thing to me. My mind is just blown that humans somehow figured out how to make an inanimate object that is so tiny and sophisticated calculate and understand our instructions. It is absolutely incredibly mindblowing.

1:10 We all just love graphs with an unlabled y-axis.

Thanks to Intel and AMD for everything you have done. The world would be a lot different without you!

"just remember that a CPU is literally a rock that we tricked into thinking." what an unreal feat!

I like Intel's audacity to allow comments.

The board when I close my eyes in math class: 3:16 The board in math when I open my eyes: 3:22

It's almost beyond comprehension that the human mind could conceive and build these type of microchips. The complexity is mind blowing. It's one of humankinds greatest achievements that many people just take for granted, but they really shouldn't.

"Limitless potential" How about 7nm?

My brain can’t comprehend this. This is just incredible.

Wow, this is how vintage 14 nanometer processors are made. Fascinating

We've underappreciated the amazing feats technology has attained. This video feels like a video game cutscene.

I comprehend nothing, must be so complicated subject, on a very tiny matter

This is actually really cool, no matter who is winning the "CPU war" it is really cool to see how they are made, and it is nice that Intel made this video.

All that video and not a single mention of IC layout designers. We're the ones who design everything.

Plot twist: The whole video was edited on a AMD rig Edit: there’s a war going down in the replies

yet yall cant make a website

Video: Intel was the first to manufacture 3-d transistors called FinFETs. AMD: They are also the first to manufacture 14nm++++++++++++++++++ CPU's.

Me- Wow this is so cool. Also me- Sucking at my "semiconductors and devices" course.

All we need is sand!! Some guy in the Middle East- “I got you fam”

*Crushes a Cheez-It* "We are literally rearranging atoms"

I truly appreciate Intel taking the time remake this 10 year old video.

Intel in 2020: Gamers Nexus in 2021: "Waste of Sand"

OK, now I know how to make my own CPU, thanks. *proceed to make 1cm CPU

00:48 thank you for this. I love when they give our brain these kind of visualization

The video graphics, the man's voice, the background music, I'm a AMD user and fan but couldn't stop being super impressed every single second.

"The world is producing data on an unprecedented rate .faster than our ability to understand and analyze it" MORE LIKE " AMD is producing CPUs on an unprecedented rate. Faster than our ability to understand and analyze it "

OK, I know how my ryzen is made now!

AMD fan here, btw the 14nm lake is drying up.

When they said “limitless potential”. They meant they can make 14+++++ till eternal pluses.

0:17 lmao theres a amd stock cooler in the pc

They are actually powered by competition. Thanks AMD and Intel

Then, everything changed when the Ryzen nation attacked.

Without Intel And AMD, games wouldn't be alive , a salute to those unsung heros

And everything has changed after ryzen came

This whole comment section is like Intel asking for a r/roastme

It is mindblowing to understand why some humans are so much more intelligent and advanced than the rest of humanity and can envision and create such complicated devices. The animation is also dope and beautiful. Love and respect to all the intelligent, advanced and creative human beings who have made life so much fun and exciting for the entire humanity. Thanks for your innovations and sacrifices. We are all proud of you.

People say there's no hope for humanity, but I look at the feats we've pulled off thus far and realize our possibilities are endless. People are awesome

Amazing video but I'm changing to 3rd Gen Threadripper...

I love the part where they say "And if you buy AMD, you're dead to us"

AMD is spreading faster than Covid-19 here in the comment section 😂

Did you just mention Moore's law??? Lmao

Intel logo music gives me nostalgia and I respect them for keeping the music same

The best of this section is users talking about AMD 😂

“Doubling Transistor Density in every new generation of processors” Yeah, as if they didn’t stay with 14nm for 3 generations

14nm++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Man Intel is still innovating and at the cutting edge. My company, that builds fabricated circuits, that Intel uses to test each of its chips, is constantly trying to keep up with Intel just so we can stay the primary contractor. Engineers have all entire seminars and meetings, PowerPoint presentation and trial and error experimentation to try to figure out how to make something that and test the “new” thing. Right now Intel is about to introduce a new type of EMIB and so my company has engineering runs going through the fab everyday trying to nail it down.

Intel: 'Write this down, write this down!' 'Oh wait, this is our video.'

Intel: uploads a video All amd users: you have chosen war

The amount of respect I have for my 4th gen CPU after watching this video, I can't-

thanks intel for actually having stock.

Intel:- allows comments Comment section:- *laughs in AMD*

"doubled transistor density with every new generation" Fake News! Intel is basically selling 14nm skylake CPU's scince 4 generations xD

No matter which side you are we have to appreciate that Intel and AMD both are taking human lives to next Level

Showing the Moose's law in this video is such a good laugh 😂

Glad to hear the intel tune at the end it literally made me smile Thanks intel for making our childhood and future awesome

I'm surprised by the fact that how this is done at such a microscopic level. Such a (physically) small processor contains billions of transistors?? Amazingly insane!

3:41 So when AMD does it you call it gluing CPUs together You do it and it's 2D and 3D packaging technology.

Upgraded version of what was created many years ago *Noice*

This is so incredible, that we are at such a level of advanced technology. One could say that we have Ryzen to unlimited potential.

Powering the world, with performance gains of 1% each generation.

What's wrong with the people here It's just a company producing microprocessors. If you think their products are not adequate, buy Amd's processors Instead of fanboying and fighting amongst yourselves and attacking them

This is an unbelievable journey of mankind from the discovery of fire to rearranging an atom

Intel 2020: 15 nm My 200$ smartphone: 11nm

its crazy to think how important just this part of technology is and will prove to be

Whoever invented this should win an award. 💯

Legend says they used Ryzen 3600 for making this video.

AMD recently revealed their new Zen 3 processors, which are the AMD Ryzen 5950X, 5900X, 5800X, & 5600X. And they outperform Intel's CPU's. The new AMD Ryzen 9 5950X & Ryzen 9 5900X outperform the Intel i9 10900K and previous AMD Ryzen processors. The new AMD Ryzen 9 5950X & AMD Ryzen 9 5900X have high benchmark scores such as an +19% IPC increase, highest CPU-Z Bench Score & highest Cinebench scores, with high specs in cache memory, threads and cores. And AMD's high end processors outperform Intel's high end processors for an equivalent to lower price according to AMD's pricing. So I say AMD is still the King. Intel tried to catch up this year due to AMD dominating last year, but AMD still is on the top this year in performance and value. And oh, lets not also forget AMD produces better budget CPU's for a lower price, so they're also the King of Budget gaming too. And AMD also planning on their Zen 4 processors already, that have hardware leaks which show AMD outperforming Intel’s next gen CPU’s and current gen CPU’s. So AMD is ahead of the game now. And Rocket Lake isn't going to even go above 8 cores and still sticking with 14++++nm & 10nm chips.

Intel, driving innovation one + at a time.

The last making processor video was 8 years ago, I loved that. I also liked this video, the people can rly understand how it is made, thx for sharing

This video was rendered in a AMD processor

kudos who did the graphic design/animated this and the informer script director & narrator to showcase us this feat of human marvel tech. my new laptop of microsoft surface 4 has Intel processors and can't help but wonder what each component's importance and understand what they do and what is made of is much compact & fast than the apollo shuttle's computers decades ago. still i hope we improve ongoing electronic recycling/waste management, more investment on industries to western countries/domestic chip making and pray safety, wage & better standards of living to those workers who built countless of our chips in dangerous conditions acquiring/refining it.

It's amazing how technology improved overtime

Incredible processing power that you don't currently have, Intel. Single core is good, but only because of your clock speeds.

Thanks to this video I was able to build my own intel chip in my garage. Now I don't need to buy them from the store anymore. Thanks Intel!

I Believe in INTEL! They will once again bounce back in the Processor Industry with it's 3D stacking technology! JUST WAIT AND WATCH!

Incredible stuff. Can't imagine the world of innovation without Intel. Hats off to all the Intel resources across the Globe 👍👍

Wait, So I paid $400 for sand !!!!?!

I appreciate Americans for inventing such a sophisticated technology. From sticks and stones to computing and microprocessing, America has earned it all. 🙌🏽

Just mind blowing and awesome....I love watching stuff like this and then realising while I am typing this, well, you know the rest. #respect to all the people ever involved in pushing this technology, no matter the company or individual !!

Sat here with a new pc wondering how the intel processor was made. WOW! And thankyou. What these companies have done for the advancment of the human race is phenomenal. Thank you.

I have been using i3 since 2010 it's awesome

This should be named "How your future keychain is made."

Wow so this is how a Plumbus is made. Fascinating!

0:21 "Intel makes chips that are at the heart of nearly everything." ARM, AMD, and Nvidia: "Am I a joke to you?" Note: ARM builds microchips for mobile and tiny devices around us, and Nvidia have Great GPUs for AI.

step up your game...i love this "war" imagine if we had 3 or 4 CPU providers or like the phone industry we need more smaller,faster,conected and smarter CPU's

Intel golden days are gone. But thank you.

They thought the big words would confuse people. So they actually tell you all the right stuff.

90% of comments *something about amd*, 10% actually talking about how cool it is

W a s t e o f s a n d

Intel made it AMD made it available to us

Meanwhily mobile comes with 7nm processor

Thank you for not enabling ads

The power of semiconductors!! 💕

I thought you were going to show me the inside of your production line or your silicon production line.

about time this video was updated from a decade ago

you forgot the part where you put a NSA backdoor into the processor

The making of an overpriced micro chip: Step 1: in the video Step 2: label it "Intel"

I personally know the narrator of this video. He’s my church family member. We are great friends.
