AMD
The technology itself, silicon chips and so forth, and the ability to mass produce and make the technology affordable.
sceallóga = chips is the Irish for chips
Back then they didn't know much about computer technology and didn't have the right technology of which we have today. The circuits were built up on cards using discrete components, transistors, resitors and capacitors. As technology progressed all these components were incorporated into single silicon chips. As technology progressed even further, more and more components can be squeezed onto the silicon chips. As physical limits were met, as to how dense the components could be shrunk down, solutions have been found. Like using lasers instead of normal light, for the photographic mask method of large scale integration.

Silicon transistors are approaching the point where further miniaturization will no longer be possible. It is expected that once silicon transistors reach 16nm size, optical lithography will no longer be capable of making smaller images. Thus, unless all progress in transistor size is terminated and performance improvements are limited to processor architecture alone, it is very likely that chip manufacturers will move to graphene as a way to get smaller transistors. However, graphene has flaws. One example is that graphene transistors are very "leaky" compared to those made of silicon- that is, more charge can escape from them. This means that graphene chips are likely to run much hotter than silicon chips.
AMD
Computer chips are I.C.s (Integrated Circuits) exaples of which are Memory (RAM Chips) CPU Processor, Video Chips.
Microprocessor
Intel chips are mainly designed to act as computer processors. Intel chips are some of the most common processor chips that are available on the market.
The RAM of an Intel Pentium 4 processor was as high as 1GB or 2GB. The chips were made between 2000 and 2008 before being replaced by dual core chips.

RAM
Modern processor chips may be classified as central processing units (CPUs) or graphics processing units (GPUs). CPUs are designed for general-purpose computing tasks, while GPUs are optimized for graphics and parallel processing tasks. Other classifications include application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
Chips are used to store data and also for small operations, whereas a processor performs on given instructions and executes them sequentially.
For Intel chips this will be almost any Core I5 and I7(with the ones ending with 3 numbers and X being Hexacores, the rest are just Quad cores), for AMD that would be the Chips with "X3 (3 physical cores)/X4(4 cores)/X6(6 cores) in the name.
