Usage Note
Chip is an anglicism fully adopted into Spanish; its plural is chips. It covers both electronic microchips (el chip del procesador) and potato crisps/chips in informal use (patatas chips). The word is invariable in form but takes the masculine article el chip. In pet contexts, chip refers to the implanted RFID identifier.
