Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of ...
Advanced Micro Devices has brewed two new advanced transistor designs that it says will lead to higher chip performance. The chipmaker's researchers have created and demonstrated a new Fully Depleted ...
In a previous article (Intel: The Nanometer Games) I dived into some technical detail concerning the current state of semiconductor manufacturing. Here, I will dive into Intel's quest for transistor ...
This year’s top semiconductor stories were mostly about the long and twisting trips a technology takes from idea (or even raw ...
TL;DR: AMD's RDNA 4-based Navi 48 GPU, featured in the Radeon RX 9070 XT, boasts 53.9 billion transistors, surpassing NVIDIA's GB203 GPU in the GeForce RTX 5080. The Navi 48 is reportedly 350mm², ...
For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...
AF114 germanium transistors and related ones like the AF115 through AF117 were quite popular during the 1960s, but they quickly developed a reputation for failure. This is due to what should have made ...
The future began 75 years ago this week with the invention of the transistor. We’ve been looking at the ecosystems of innovation that grew the transistor into the interconnected, digital revolution.
AF114 germanium transistors and related ones like the AF115 through AF117 were quite popular during the 1960s, but they quickly developed a reputation for failure. This is due to what should have made ...
University of Illinois researchers have muscled aside IBM and other electronics industry giants to create the fastest transistor yet, and they aren't planning to stop there. The UI transistor has a ...
Japan's computer giant NEC Corp said it has developed the world's smallest transistor, a breakthrough that could make it possible to build a supercomputer the size of a personal computer. An NEC ...
