Fifty years ago this month, Intel introduced the first commercial microprocessor, the 4004. Microprocessors are tiny, general-purpose chips that use integrated circuits made up of transistors to ...
Montecito exceeds the billion-transistor count because the Itanium-2 processor architecture is itself complex — a 64-bit processor intended for server applications — and the Montecito model ...
Researchers create transistors combining silicon with biological silk, using common microprocessor manufacturing methods. The silk protein can be easily modified with other chemical and biological ...
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Intel Corp. today (Oct. 15) described how it could combine four Itanium 2 cores that share a large cache memory to create a processor with more than 1 billion transistors. In a ...
TL;DR: Researchers at Peking University developed a silicon-free transistor using bismuth oxyselenide, offering faster electron movement and full gate coverage around the source. This design promises ...
A new technique uses standard chip fab methods to fabricate the building block of a timing device, critical to all microprocessors. Currently, this timing device, known as an acoustic resonator, must ...
This month marks the 50th anniversary of the microprocessor. But developments in these semiconductor chips, which are the heart of every electronic device, continue with gusto. Researchers at UK-based ...
A method of repurposing existing techniques to produce a microprocessor timing device in a standard chip fab plant could address supply chain and security weak points. (Photo courtesy of Second Bay ...
Microchip fab plants in the United States can cram billions of data processing transistors onto a tiny silicon chip, but a critical device, in essence a “clock,” to time the operation of those ...
