In this video we explore the primary processor or the System on a Chip or SoC which is essentially the brain of your smartphone. We'll explore the different sections of the SoC and then see how data moves around. Next, we'll explore what happens when you take a picture, and how the SoC processes this data. Following that, we'll take a look at the CPU section, and finally, we'll see how these SoC are designed and manufactured.

It's the kind of thing you don't think about unless something's not working properly. Whoever put this video together did an excellent job. It was instructional without being overly technical. It's amazing how fast these computer achievements happened. Only 24 years after the invention of the transistor, Intel introduced the 4-bit 4004 with 2,300 random logic transistors. Now we're using 64-bit multi-core processors with billions of transistors. I'm 65 now and when I was younger I thought the quick rate of our technical advancements was a great thing, but as I got older I started realizing that maybe we're not ready for some of these advancements.

Simply mind-blowing. Thank you!

[@snowkracker]

I’m always blown away when I watch these kinds of videos. Human ingenuity is mind boggling. And to think…everything we create out of different materials came from the earth.

[@DesertCow1000]

I really wanted this information and this was perfectly presented, thank you!! Great content. 💯

[@grandunification6226]

an amazing video. video went beyond my expectations. looking forward to the series .

[@xumike2897]

very straightforward, vivid, and detailed illustration! keep up the good job!

[@nielsonaspe]

I'm greatly appreciated for sharing this video. Thank you and more power.

this is insanely crazy tech , can't imagine how a person can even thinking of making this chip. it's really mind blowing

[@kratosspartan9125]

that's y humans named this era a silicon age.....

[@DasGrosseFressen]

It's collaboration. That is why collaboration is more important than single genius. No human could ever think of and develop these systems in a single lifetime. It took decades and many hard working people to develop this. The hardcore development and thinking is usually done by underpaid scientists...

[@RenoLaringo]

Maybe they didn't, maybe they just retro engineered it... go figure.

Just think, just not too long ago in 1958 the first transistor was invented. Tech has come a long way, in fact more then we know for what they have now, that hasn't even hit mass production. Cool but also scary at the same time.

This "journey to the centre of the SoC" was awesome. The explanation was simple without compromising important information. I haven't ever got such an easy-to-understand explanation anywhere else. I am eagerly waiting for the detailed video on microchip fabrication. I have something to ask: What are the technical differences between a smartphone's motherboard and a PC's motherboard?

I need you to at least know that your work wasn't in vain, and every video of yours inspires me even more to study and work either for Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, ASUS, or for my own brand, you teach me and inspire me to learn more than anything on KZbin

[@M_Tc]

Great videos love how in-depth and specific you get

[@Erik-rp1hi]

I took about my old flip phone to see what was inside. These "how they work" videos are right down my alley.

[@or1324]

It is just amazing. Keep up your amazing work!

[@thesunman108]

Brilliant. The amount of engineering and wizardry that goes into technology is awe inspiring. Thanks for illuminating. Great content.

[@jonggyu]

Incredible work. Thanks! Surprisingly, this video gives really detailed information on the manufacturing processes and structures of the processors than other videos uploaded from the manufacturers such as Intel or Samsung.
