We all know, at least intellectually, that our computers are all built with lots of tiny transistors. But beyond that it’s a little hard to describe. They’re printed on a silicon wafer somehow, and ...

For the first time, scientists can develop computer chips with transistors smaller than 1 nanometer. The new "NanoStack" architecture that has made this possible could even one day lead to transistors ...

What rhymes with "Godzilla," weighs 2 billion transistors, and has enough on-die cache to take out Tokyo? Meet the latest edition to Intel's Itanium Product Family: Tukwila.

Transistors etched into the latest processor designs now measure just a few nanometers across, placing them well below the physical size of a common virus particle. That comparison is not metaphorical ...

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 ...

so i got in this pissing match with my cs instructor. he was telling the class that there are four transistors per bit of L2 cache on any given cpu with on-die, full-speed cache (not actually the ...

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 ...

Why it matters: An interesting article posted at WikiChip discusses the severity of SRAM shrinkage problems in the semiconductor industry. Manufacturer TSMC is reporting that its SRAM transistor ...
