What is a chip, and how does it differ from an integrated circuit?

This technical question asks you to define a specific component used in hardware design and contrast it with another component. This is the typical form of a technical question. However, this question is slightly different because the two components you're asked to compare are actually the same. Interviewers will ask this type of question to explore your technical knowledge. It also allows you to demonstrate your communication skills and how capable you are at discussing technical issues with people with non-technical backgrounds.
