Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of ...
In a paper published in the journal Nature Electronics, researchers from EPFL’s School of Engineering in the Laboratory of Nanoscale Electronics and Structures (LANES) present a new processor that ...
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 blackwell chip from Nvidia, shovel-maker for the artificial-intelligence (ai) gold rush, contains 208bn transistors spread over two “dies”, pieces of silicon each about 800 square millimetres in ...
This year’s top semiconductor stories were mostly about the long and twisting trips a technology takes from idea (or even raw ...
CPU collector and enthusiast CPU Duke was given the opportunity to "pop the hood" off Intel's first-ever multi-purpose microprocessor, the 4004. In a post on X, the CPU collector removed the top ...
Whereas the CPUs and similar ASICs of the 1970s had their transistors laid out manually, with the move from LSI to VLSI, it became necessary to optimize the process of laying out the transistors and ...
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 ...
