Every Computer Chip Type Explained: CPU, GPU, NPU, FPGA & More
CPU, GPU, NPU, FPGA, ASIC, SoC, DSP, microcontroller, memory chip, modem, quantum chip — every processor type explained in one video. From the general-purpose brains inside your laptop to the frontier silicon pushing past classical computing entirely, this is the complete breakdown of modern chip architecture.
Types covered in this video:
• CPU (Central Processing Unit)
• GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)
• AI Accelerator / NPU (Neural Processing Unit)
• SoC (System on a Chip)
• Microcontroller
• FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array)
• ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit)
• Memory Chip
• DSP (Digital Signal Processor)
• Modem / RF Chip
• Power Management Chip
• Quantum / Neuromorphic Chip
Learn how each chip type works, why it was designed that way, and where it lives inside real devices — explained with clear visuals and zero jargon. Whether you're curious about AI hardware, semiconductor design, or just what's inside your phone, this covers it all.
