Nvidia Tour

I know that Linus Media Group was acquired by Nvidia ( lol april fools joke). I think they have missed a great factory video especially a company like Nvidia.

I'm not promoting this guys YT channel, but as an avid fan of LTT this would have been a Great Factory Video Tour.

Yup. That is how all processors that we buy are made these days.

It is all programming, that gets converted into a circuit design, which is passed through emulators that is actually several floors high, and huge rooms, and always need constant upgrading, as running simple tests on the GPU by the engineers to test something can take several days to finish executing... and all they have is a nice "OK", or green square on the screen or some indicator, and not like a game or something (although that is more later on in the dev of a processor).

Nvidia had an official video back in GeForce FX days... so that is 2003. Nothing really changed, if you wonder (beside more and faster servers).

Keep in mind once again, 2002-2003 tech.

 

Here is how they look at chips produced for QA and for testing new processes and see what needs to be changed to make a new die shrink process work (usually involves the factory as well). This is a more recent video (2013).

 

And for your amusement, here is Nvidia making fun of its self, with the failure that was GeForce FX 5800 with its overheating chip, and super loud cooling solution. (yes those are real Nvidia employees)
