gollark: They have billions of transistors in them, imaging them is hard itself, nobody actually knows how all the parts work, and they're designed with computerized design tools such that nobody knows what's going on with all the individual transistors either.
gollark: You can't really dissect a modern CPU and work out how it works, though.
