How is a processor chip made?
Chips are manufactured from the wafers using a process called photolithography. Through this photographic process, transistors and circuit and signal pathways are created in semiconductors by depositing different layers of various materials on the chip, one after the other.
What is CPU made of?
CPUs are made mostly of an element called silicon. Silicon is rather common in earths crust and is a semiconductor. This means that depending on what materials you add to it, it can conduct when a voltage is applied to it. It is the ‘switch that makes a CPU work.
Where are Ryzen made?
Your next AMD Ryzen CPU or Nvidia GPU could be manufactured in the USA. Following a deal between the Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and the US government, a $12bn fab has been given the go-ahead to start construction in Arizona next year.
Why are cpus made of silicon?
Silicon has historically been used to make transistors because it is a semiconductor, which is a material that is more conductive than an insulator like rubber but less conductive than a metal like steel, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.

What processor is best for gaming?
Now the fastest processors for gaming are Intel Core i5 and Ryzen 5 processors having 4 cores and 4 threads and 6 cores/12 threads respectively. They use the full power of their cores and have much better single core performance than the AMD FX series processors.
What is the best Intel processor?
Not surprisingly, the best processor in the market is one from the Intel ultra high-end line, which I talk about, in the next section. Intel Core i7 980X. Currently, the best computer chip on the market is the Intel core i7 980X.
