This is a deep electronics tycoon where you design processors and graphics cards, build architectures, and run a company like Intel, AMD, Nvidia, or Apple. Many games reduce chip design to basic sliders or scripted markets, but this one aims for true depth and realism.
You can design your own CPUs and GPUs, configure their architecture, and build the actual chip layout. Your processor continues to exist in the game world. A laptop manufacturer may use it, and if cooling is weak, it may overheat and throttle. Performance depends on games, programs, operating systems, and workloads.
The market reacts to everything. Journalists may criticize your chip for being expensive or barely faster than the previous generation. Customers may love its efficiency or hate its software support. A technically impressive chip does not automatically become a success. Hardware also needs software, so you can develop your own instruction set architecture and operating system, improving multithreading, browser performance, and software compatibility.
The game includes semiconductor factories, process node development, and AI-controlled competitors with different strategies. It is still growing, but these systems interact and bring the experience closer to the electronics tycoon you may have been looking for.
