Did you check the date on that post?
Anyway, it takes quite a few people to make a microprocessor:
Chemists to grow highly pure silicon 'ingots' which are eventually cut into thin slices.
Skilled technicians to produce photomasks and etch the silicon surface. The thin slices are then chopped up into individual 'chips'.
Electronic engineers to design the logic that will go on the chip (most important people, obviously)
Electrical engineers to understand how to route the logic that the above engineer made, so that at GHz you don't get cross channel interference etc.
Embedded software engineer to code up any subprocessors you may have on your chip
Salesmen to lie about the product
Marketing scum to lie about the product
- get all them in a room with a suitcase full of money and you're good to go!![]()
Kind of reminds me of the film "Shooting Fish". You just left out a brickmaker that makes bricks, for adding some weight to the product after it's finished
