Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Stanford University, and the University of Texas at Dallas have managed to build a transistor gate that is only 1 nanometer in length. Their ...

Moore’s law dictates that the number of transistors in integrated circuits doubles approximately every 18 to 24 months, but as transistor size approaches atomic levels, quantum physics renders them ...

Bell Labs has created a tiny new transistor and discovered a way to whip it up in a laboratory beaker. On Thursday, the research arm of Lucent Technologies unveiled a new organic transistor--made from ...

For more than a decade, engineers have been eyeing the finish line in the race to shrink the size of components in integrated circuits. They knew that the laws of physics had set a 5-nanometer ...

In one of the biggest advancements in fundamental transistor design, Intel Corporation revealed that it is using two dramatically new materials to build the insulating walls and switching gates of its ...

Engineers at NEC Corp. have developed the world’s smallest transistor with a gate length of 5 nanometers, the company said Monday. NEC will disclose the development at the Institute of Electrical and ...

Overclocking expert der8auer examined an Intel Core i7-8700K under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) a couple of years ago when that processor was one of Intel's best consumer offerings. This was ...

SAN FRANCISCO—Members of Intel's Itanium team took to the stage yesterday at ISSCC to disclose fresh details of what is literally the biggest microprocessor ever made. Tukwila, as the new 65nm chip is ...

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 ...

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 ...
