Chips drive your car
Modern cars rely on dozens of chips to speed them down the road. Controlling everything from the radio to fuel injection to antilock brakes, chips crunch the data that make the rubber hit the road.

Chips cook your food
Microwaves, refrigerators, dishwashers, toasters, ovens, and coffee makers all use chips to control settings and timers.

Chips play your music
From gear like portable MP3 players to the studio soundboards that mix down your favorite cuts, chips control the flow of sonic information.

Chips power your cell phone
Thanks to computer chips, you can call home or call your friends practically whenever and wherever you want, without having to search for a payphone or dig for change. And smaller, more powerful chips allow for lighter, sleeker, and more compact phones.
