Day 82

These are some old AMD CPUs (Central Processing Units). The two on the bottom are AMD Athlon CPUs and both are the same. The actual area of the chip is seen on the left -- not very big is it?. The big heat sinks pull all heat away from that small area or the chip would burn up. The one on the right just shows all the connections (pins) that connect into the motherboard. The one on top is an older AMD K6 2 that runs about 25% of the speed of the other two. The chip is under the metal piece and about the same size as the one on the bottom left. 


I could go on all night about microcode, machine code, memory registers, accumulators,  chip logic and a whole lot more, but I won't ... tonight.
