Quantum computing just got a little bit closer, after an Australian team of researchers unveiled a seven-atom transistor. Measuring just four billionths of a meter and embedded in a single silicon crystal, it acts as a switch on a ...READ»
While there's a lot of work to push nanotechnology as the future of computer chips, good old-fashioned semiconductors still have a lot of life in them yet: and they've recently been given a boost with a radical new type of circuit ...READ»
Gordon Moore's 1965 observation of increasing integrated circuit power paralleling shrinkage in size was originally tentatively phrased: "The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two ...READ»
Intel's [INTC] announced details of its next-generation chips, fabricated using a 32nm process, due to go on sale late 2009--the chip's transistors switch 22% faster and result in processors much smaller than the current 45nm ...READ»
In the April 19, 1965 issue of Electronics Magazine, Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel made an observation about the development of integrated circuits, which are at the heart of the modern computer's ever improving ...READ»
