When you zoom into a CPU, SoC, or any microchip in general, you'll find a nanoscopic sea of transistors, each just a few nanometers wide, grouped into logic gates called standard cells. To wire a full processor together, it takes 18 stacked layers upon layers of intricate wiring with the transistors at the bottom and then progressively larger wires up top — all connected vertically by vias.
