This $380 million machine might make your new Intel CPU

Unboxing videos don't come much grander than this. Intel has just taken delivery of a new high numerical aperture extreme ultra violet lithography tool - yes, that very one - at its new CPU fabrication plant being built in Oregon. What's more, it's kindly documented the process for those of us that aren't in the business of buying $380 million bits of machinery.

The high-NA EUV lithography tool is a variant of a key part of the process by which all of the best gaming CPUs are manufactured - for both AMD and Intel. It's the stage that projects the circuit layout onto the silicon wafer in order for further etching/deposition processes to then be performed on that silicon, allowing for the multi-billion transistor circuits of modern chips to be created.
