"Chip" is the layman term for an integrated circuit, or IC.

I did not realize this. I thought a computer chip, meaning a CPU, was distinct from the IC on which it was implemented. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

In case you don't want just my word on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Computer_chip&redirect=no ; the first paragraph of the linked page for ICs notes it, as well.

So IC = CPU and vice versa? They are synonyms?
