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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The processors in today’s computers have grown tremendously in performance, capabilities and complexity over the past decade. Clock speed has skyrocketed, and size has dwindled, even as the number of ...

AMD's new Ryzen 7000 series "Zen 4" processors are now official, but the company didn't detail absolutely every single detail on its Zen 4 processors... but now we have some of those holes filled by ...

Researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) in Seoul have created a transistor that is switched by magnetism, rather than electricity. This could lead to computer chips that ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

The drastic changes in processor technology development over the decades. Some of the key players in the early days of mainframes. The rise of microprocessors. The shrinking size of today's ...

Does this process reduce the *number* of transistors, or merely their size? Or is the potential reduction in number related to the ability to convert the gates from one type to the other? Click to ...
