cpu used a lot of transistors,but why it has to use that much? this question stuck in my head for years, and when I ask my friends or even my teacher
they only tell me that it's responsible for amplifying current, and that doesn't make me clearly understand 'cause I know it can amplify current, but why cpu needs that much? does it require a lot of current or what? So after I learned about digital and logic design, I found that the cpu is made of a lot of IC or logic gates, and I wonder, what is inside of a logic gate, and I found that it's made of a group of transistor. So is this why we use a lot of transistors in a cpu? does that corrent, i'm still not sure.
