Can you make your own computer processor?
Not exactly. You can build a computer out of discrete transistors, but it will be very slow and limited in capacity – the linked project is for a 4-bit CPU. If you try and mimic a modern CPU (in the low billions in terms of transistor count) then you’ll run into some roadblocks pretty quickly.
Which company manufactures processors for computer?
There are two major manufacturers of computer processors, Intel® and AMD®.

Can India manufacture semiconductors?
As India does not produce any semiconductors, the country’s demands are met with imports. The demand for semiconductors in India will reportedly reach around $100 billion by 2025, up from the current demand of $2 billion.
Is making processor hard?
It is not hard to make a CPU. It is very hard to make a state of the art fast CPU. This is Chuck Thacker’s “A Tiny Computer” which is a 32 bit Harvard architecture RISC machine. You can build it in pretty much any FPGA.
What is needed to make a processor?
CPU design is divided into design of the following components:
- datapaths (such as ALUs and pipelines)
- control unit: logic which controls the datapaths.
- Memory components such as register files, caches.
- Clock circuitry such as clock drivers, PLLs, clock distribution networks.
- Pad transceiver circuitry.
