I have to ask this... I've always just been whatever about the way CPUs think. Okay great, they're Intel or AMD or PPC or whatever, they can do calculations, ohhh faster clock speed yes! dual core! quad core! Woooo!
What about the infancy stage of the CPU from way back in the early IT days?
Did a team of people program each and every single calculation that a CPU can calculate into the chip? Or was some type of algorithm developed to just macro the calculations into the chip, so that way when we type the letter X that the appropriate binary hits the chip and therefore it barfs out an X on our screen.
