Recently, some foreign DIY geeks have nothing to worry about. They have thoroughly disassembled some processors and large-scale integrated circuits, and got a microscope to see them. I did not expect to find many very interesting things. As follows:
Screen. width * 0.7) {this. resized = true; this. width = screen. width * 0.7; this. alt = Click here to open new window;} "border = 0>
This is the sword pattern found in the PowerPC 750 processor, also known as Apple's G3 processor. The R & D code of G3 is Arthur (Arthur Wang). Isn't this sword used by Arthur Excalibur?

The monster pattern found in this sgi mips 10000 Processor

A lot of CPU monsters! Here is a fireball monster living in the Analog Devices DSP chip!

Cyrix 5x86, which was so popular with the poor, also has ......
Where did these interesting patterns come from? Let's take a look at the manufacturing process of large-scale integrated circuits first. In fact, the circuit in the chip is converted to the silicon chip by Optical Principle, and the original circuit is drawn on a transmission chip, these pictures are naturally made on the chip only after they are drawn on the parent chip. The person who draws these pictures is the technical staff of the chip company responsible for drawing the master chip, while drawing boring circuits, they drew their favorite pictures in the blank space of the circuit, as a result, in the micro-View world of computer chips, there is a secret world that may not even be known by chip manufacturers, a cartoon world, which is very similar to the Easter eggs in the software.
