Stupid question, Is Digital electronics the subject that focuses on GPUs?

[Gizmo j]

I want to work in a manufacturing plant for GPUs and on the GPU page on Wikipedia it says GPUs are a Electronic Circuit and on that page it talks about Analog Circuits/Digital circuits and mixed signal circuits.

Didn't you already ask this question awhile back? I vaguely remember telling you (or someone that asked a question a lot like yours) that you would need an advanced Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering degree from a top rated engineering college (Think MIT or CalTech) if you wanted know how to build the next generation of GPU's from the likes of Nvidia or AMD.

Even then, you're probably going to need to get a few years of experience before you can get job designing GPU's at a place like Apple or Intel. I'd imagine that there are a lot of hardware engineers out there who thought that they would be designing the next gen gaming console or video card who ended up designing cheap embedded processors for smart appliances instead.

Digital electronics is a broad subject. I would start playing with Arduino and go from there.

If you're serious check out these videos:

To make an actual modern GPU is a whole other ball game though...

You can do it, put your back into it.

Wait... I mean you can do it if you put your mind to it.

For some reason I am reminded of the Forum member who kept asking about Natural Language Processing after multiple replies informing him that no one is using it for computer programing.

First, get an EE degree, then post grad in Math. Then you can look for a job in that field.

OP doesn't need any fancy degree to work in a GPU manufacturing plant. Heck, you don't even need a high school education to be a janitor.
