How are individual bits controlled inside of a CPU?

323 views

I know there are transistors to represent 1 and 0 (on and off), and I know that assembly is the lowest human-readable level you can get to telling the CPU exactly what to do. Any and all processes between that are an enigma to me, and I would love to know how it works.

In short, logic gates (made of ~~MOFSETs~~ MOSFETs) at the base level manipulate the signals coming in, and the billions of logic gates, all baked into the design of the CPU, controls what occurs and which outputs are “triggered” with more binary.
