Home IC Fab

Oh yes, let me just go into my bank account and pull out 35k like I do every Sunday.

Good for him.
Using 3D printing to make custom chips like a ZX21 would be a worthy Zig Forums endeavor, then advancing on to create the Admiral64G, and Friend500.

This is only interesting in the scenario that you are an electrical engineer and the apocalypse has been and gone. Otherwise it's merely novelty. Also, it's amusing he has so little interest in his parents' safety. The female inspiration he cites remarked that her bones felt all soft from having merely inhaled a whiff of HF. This is not to be fucked with.

Yeah, this seems like an entirely logical solution. Neat DIY project though, would do it if I was a richfag

Why does a huge chip like that have such a small "core", or whatever its called? The rest of the space is wasted? It's just plastic and contacts? Seems like it should be easier to make big chips, only requiring jew-tier technology to make things nanometers in size.

This is impressive and all, but what I really care about is x86_64 and ARM processors, as well as motherboard components. Is it feasible to fabricate these at home? Would be nice to get some open hardware versions of these components. With a home fab, you could offer a custom chip key version: the user could buy a chip with his own public key burned in, so it'd still be secure but the user would control the key. You'd be able to use the official microcode by signing it yourself, sign a free software microcode or supply your own.

The IC size is standard you dunce, otherwise it wouldn't fit on standard perfboards/breadboards/component shit.

So if I were to decap an intel processor I would find a small IC just like that one inside the big socket-sized packaging? Or something that's an integer multiple of the size of that IC?

Yes, as a matter of fact nearly every single packaged IC is a tiny little pinprick chip in the middle of a giant block of plastic. I've blown up enough of them to know.
