In the world of electronics, things are constantly changing. We hear about new processors being designed and manufactured. We learn of new technologies being experimented with, and of new manufacturing methods being developed.  But one thing that doesn't change is the way a processor is made.  Today, the vast majority of processors are made using a process called wafer-level packaging.  The process is a huge step forward that makes the manufacture of a processor a lot easier and more cost-effective.  In this article, we would like to look at some of the top computer processor manufacturing companies.
