Moore’s Law, which states that the number of transistors that can be assembled on a given area of an IC will double every two years, is, depending on who you ask, either already dead or on life ...

Intel is preparing to talk about a bunch of research advances at a chip engineering conference next week. The advances range from a new microprocessor with 2.3 billion transistors on a sliver of ...

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the microprocessor. But developments in these semiconductor chips, which are the heart of every electronic device, continue with gusto. Researchers at UK-based ...

A microprocessor is a complex, programmable integrated circuit (IC) on a single chip that can execute instructions. This generally includes CPUs found in computers but also refers to the ...

The new generation of high performance microprocessors are built on dense, low breakdown voltage processes in order to accommodate increased transistor counts. These new processors require high ...

A method of repurposing existing techniques to produce a microprocessor timing device in a standard chip fab plant could address supply chain and security weak points. (Photo courtesy of Second Bay ...

The big picture: Intel forever changed the trajectory of computing - and really, human history - with the introduction of the first commercially available microprocessor. The Intel 4004 launched 50 ...
