On the other hand, this computer goes all the way back to first principles and implements a complete processor out of individual transistors instead. The transistor computer uses over 2000 ...

It is the fastest, most efficient transistor ever,” a Peking University statement claims. That is a confidence boost for a ...

[Donn] wanted know exactly what is going on inside of a processor so naturally he built a CPU out of TTL components. He had previously built a couple of versions of a computer based on the Z80 ...

Researchers have unveiled a silicon-free microprocessor technology that could be the future of microprocessors and have ...

A new breakthrough in China could power the future of silicon-free chips, further revolutionizing how we make microprocessors ...

MOSFETs were not originally better than the junction transistor, but they are much easier to make on an integrated circuit or microprocessor, and so they soon became the preferred type of transistor.

The first announcement of the invention of the transistor met with almost no fanfare. The integrated circuit was originally thought to be useful only in military applications. The microprocessor's ...

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 ...

Chinese researchers at Peking University have unveiled a potentially game-changing silicon-free transistor, claiming it could outperform the latest chips from Intel, TSMC, and Samsung. The ...

Quantum mechanics, first considered in the early 1900’s, and formalized by 1925, opened a fundamentally new view for western physics.  The world is whole, not a collection of parts. The ...

As transistor count increases, each transistor becomes smaller, faster and cheaper, leading to an unprecedented increase in microprocessor performance 1. The silicon community has been responding ...
