So like, if sand can be used as the first “ingredient” of a CPU, is it possible to use other variants of sand? Or is there only a very SPECIFIC kind of sand used for CPU creation?
So you can’t use fine sand from the beaches of a tropical island or black sand in Iceland?
Sorry if this is dumb, I thought it’d be humorous if you can use any sand as the first resource for building a CPU since they literally come from that source.
You could probably use most sands or rocks, it’s just cheaper to start with more silicon dioxide since the purification processes will result in higher yields.
