Intel Corporation researchers have demonstrated that there are no fundamental barriers to extending Moore's Law for another decade by building the world's fastest silicon transistors. These ...

A University of Central Florida professor is part of a research team that developed a graphene-based transistor that could someday lead to computers that are a thousand times faster and use a ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Scientists announced Thursday the creation of transistors many times smaller than those found in today’s most advanced microprocessors, and which operate efficiently at room ...

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 ...

Intel Corp. says it may have solved the problem of balancing the demand for power with excessive heat generation in future microprocessors, a key issue in the semiconductor industry's struggle to ...

What are Microprocessors and Microcontrollers? Microprocessors and microcontrollers are essential components of an embedded system. These are single-chip processors that accelerate the computing ...

“The first digital use of the transistor for consumers was in a calculator,” says Rick Bensene, curator of the Old Calculator Web Museum. Our series on the birth of the transistor — and with it, the ...

For more than three decades, microprocessors have doubled in power every 18 to 24 months. That progress will continue for another 10 years or so, chip makers say; then some new technology may have to ...
