Hi, how exactly cpu becomes clever from just be a piece of silicon? Initially its just a piece of stone and metal with photolithography on it, and then somehow it piece of stone starts understand commands, how exactly first instruction is loaded to a piece of stone?
In: Engineering
The CPU is hardwired to begin executing code from a specific location, that location contains more instructions, likely that lead to more instructions, until the device is up and running in it’s normal state.
It’s like knowing that if you flip over a box of frozen food and look for the ‘directions’ box, then you read and follow those and eventually enjoy your meal.
