Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of ...

What exactly does 130nm, 90nm, and 65nm represent when talking about cpu fabrication processes? Well, I assume transistor size, but are all the transistors the same size? Or is this the smallest or ...

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 ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...

Cerebras CS-1 is actually quite small considering its processing power, with the 26-inch-tall PC packing an insane 400,000 cores and an even crazier 1.2 trillion transistors. The 400,000-core ...

What just happened? Researchers from the Vienna University of Technology have developed an adaptive transistor designed to provide more flexibility during run-time. The revolutionary new transistor ...

A few years ago, we started to see researchers discussing an old manufacturing idea first explored in the 1980s: Wafer-scale processing. The idea of WSP is straightforward: Instead of dicing a wafer ...

Moore's law has defined processor development for decades. Intel co-founder Gordon Moore's edict, however, is sometimes inaccurately portrayed as saying that processors double in speed every few years ...

As you probably know, processors – and most other digital technology – are made up of transistors. The simplest way to think of a transistor is as a controllable switch with three pins. When the gate ...

Historically, the main way the semiconductor industry increased chip speeds year over year is by shrinking transistors so more of them can fit on a processor. Cerebras Systems Inc. is taking a ...

LONDON — Intel Corp. has started sampling an Itanium-2, 64-bit microprocessor that was made by linking together 1.72 billion transistors. The processor, codenamed Montecito, was discussed as far back ...
