Hi, can you explain what is a physical chip in this context?

Hi! In this context we were thinking about Intel microprocessors for example, where they use formal verification to make sure all the x86 instructions are correctly implemented.

They do that because:

1. Their chips are complex.
2. They cannot upgrade easily.
