Electrons

Transistors. When voltage applied goes above or below a threshold, it acts as a switch and allows another connection to be opened or closed. Multiply that by a billion and there you go.

there are moving parts, they are sub-atomic

semiconductor transisters

How does your brain work if there is no moving parts?

That explains nothing. How does it open or close connections without moving parts?

There is a writing thing in my brain that writes hard disk memory

it doesn't open or close anything. a transistor lets current flow or not flow based on what voltage is applied to the gate.

>Electrons moving

Shit is moving, even if you can't see it.

the only intelligent thread on Sup Forums

But how would it even do that? I've tried to wrap my head around it, but it always leads down to "it just does it!"

Are you familiar with the concept of a resistor? Imagine if the current was too low to even overcome the resistance at any meaningful level. Now increase the current until it gets to the point where it can actually overcome it.

look up how field effect transistors work, then imagine a faucet that gets a higher pressure flow of water depending on how much you turn the knob.

Processors got to move or else it s
Don't work.

Technically electrons are the moving parts. Read a book called "semiconductor fundementals" and it will explain.

Processor processes cause it moves.

the brain invaginates though
I'd consider that "moving"

Quantum tunneling.

Hello, Trollio. Welcome to Sup Forums!

CPUs don't exist.
It's all in your virtual imagination.
Your body is immersed in a tank of nutrigel.

Brain doesn't move.

the brain does move retard.

It's magic!

How does the brain "move retard"?
Did you mean to write "The brain does move, retard."?

What's a computer?

how. There are no switches, no writing thing to write brain cells.

Your mom invaginated me last night.

a transistor works like this. it has 3 connections, in, out and control.

when control has voltage applied to it, the transistor physically changes in a way to connect in and out together. if in and out are physically in contact, current can flow through them.

Look it's pretty obvious it moves ok. How does it transfer data from one part of itself to another? Duuuuhhh fucking brainlets. Pic related is you guys.

GOOD pic related

haha can you guys, hers and xers and beyond imagine how much fucking was needed before the first conception of the first processor was made? Haha

of course there are moving parts, they are called electrons

when you walk or even drive the brain is moving with you

fucking idiots

The brain doesn’t move dude it doesn’t work like that. GO TO HIGHSCHOKL YOU LOW IQ KNEEANDRATHRALL

Don't they get used up?

brain is stationary, dont try to convince me otherwhise. You are full of shit.

>hurr durr brain vibrates

It's not how it works retards

Is undervolting ethical? Should there be a federal minimum voltage for all processors?

Only MaRximus as the communist manifest says. Anything else is unethital.

Eating things from your foot required.

But seriously, how does processor work?

Mostly electrons moving around, filling "pits" made just for em to let other electrons walk over em.

It doesn't.

There is nothing that moves, dont lie.

...

I'm 3rd year ee and i still don't have a fucking clue how the fuck a transistor works, i just know how to use them for logic gates

There are moving parts but you need a microscope to see them.

That's why you have to plug the computer in. duh@!

Electrons move

>rolls cable into loops
>very faint drifting noises from the electron wheels can be heard

But there are, everything is moving

Good explanation. Despite being "basic" electronic concepts, they're not always simple to grok, "foundation concepts" seems more appropriate than "basic concepts", I find more advanced circuit concepts to be easier to understand than how the components are actually working themselves.

>a literally retarded bait thread is currently the best topic on Sup Forums

this fucking board, holy shit

>read a textbook and then you will know what the textbook is about

I was blind, but at last I truly see

The electrons are moving

bools

So that means that CPUs DO have moving parts!

Technically there are billions of moving parts, each transistor can switch to pass electricity through or not

Holy shit you're stupid.
Above the threshold? "Open" the gate.
Below the threshold? "Close" the gate.

The outer ring electrons do actually move around, but the substrate material (the rest of the atom and 99.999% of the mass) stays static in a crystal lattice. So semiconductor components are said to be non-moving parts. Switching durability is practically infinite so in practice you don't have to worry about the electrons doing work zipping about.

If you know how a diode really works on a physical level the leap to a bit transistor is small. The leap to fet from there is pretty easy too. You may need to work on your fundamentals.

Perfect pic related lmao, for every hole there must be an electron

there are no moving parts in a vacuum tube and computer were made of those before microprocessors

Morpheus Drinking a Forty in the Death Basket

I've always wondered how they get the vacuum into the tube.

They dont. Its all fake.

they didnt get the vacuum into the tube, they built the tube around the vacuum

Electrons are moving

Transistor - literally a changing resistor
you can control its resistance based on applying voltage to a "gate" node.
That works due to its physical properties
Check out link related to see a cross section of a transistor:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMOS#Example:_NAND_gate_in_physical_layout
Current can flow only in one direction in a PN junction, applying a strong voltage over the bulk pushes electrons (or holes) away and creates a small strip of p area in the n-well, and n area in the p-substrate, enabling conductance.

Okay but electrons move at the speed of light so how do you stop them?

A CPU is basically just a rock that we tricked into thinking.

DEJA VU

no.

...

Block their path with your mom.

...

and now to to combine this logic so something which "reads" machine code ege x86

I've just been in this place before!

Your school must suck...

What is voltage?

No, you're both just a couple of fucking retards.

Yes.

220 volts.

You don't stop electrons. Read up on fermi energy/velocity.

Semiconductor physics is 1st year content.

this is a post to be proud of user

No it's not, it's a third or fourth year course. It was dropped as a requirement from ABET since it doesn't really matter unless you're developing new devices.

Whelp back in the day it was. Guess that's why all them hardware are moving to China.
