What does 5nm even mean? It’s not about tiny ants, but it is a big deal for how your gadgets work. The size, measured in ...
James Newman was tired of trying to intuitively understand how modern microprocessors work -- so he built his own "megaprocessor," a fully functional CPU with LEDs to show where and how the chip ...
New vertical device architecture promises stable, ultra-dense semiconductor stacking for future AI and high-performance ...
Modern CPU transistor counts are enormous -- AMD announced earlier this month that a full implementation of its 7nm Epyc "Rome" CPU weighs in at 32 billion transistors. To this, Cerebras Technology ...
For decades, the semiconductor industry has been laser-focused on shrinking silicon transistors, but Peking University researchers believe the future might lie in changing materials entirely. In a ...
What’s a sextillion? It’s the number one followed by 21 zeros — outnumbering the stars in the Milky Way. Industry analyst Jim Handy estimates that 13 sextillion transistors have been manufactured by ...
A team of Chinese researchers has built a ferroelectric transistor with a gate length of just 1 nanometer that runs on 0.6 ...
Researchers developed a super tiny thermometer that sits directly on a chip could monitor temperature changes and potentially improve processor performance. The post You can’t see this tiny sensor ...
