- rasz 8y agoWhole CPU is analog, just hidden away under vendor(cadence/mentor/synopsys/etc) supplied RTL IP building blocks (GDS libraries) abstraction whose specification is highly customized to particular fab house. This lets you design logic part of the circuit without getting into analog hell. The difference between logic part of CPU and IO is in the amount of work spend on RTL vs direct custom layout of geometric structures on the chip.
