As the microchip industry celebrates the 50th anniversary of chipmaker Intel’s founding, engineers and researchers call for a complete rethinking of computer architecture.

James Newman was tired of trying to intuitively understand how modern microprocessors work -- so he built his own "megaprocessor," a fully functional CPU with LEDs to show where and how the chip ...

After getting the world’s first microprocessor, the 4004, into silicon, Dr Federico Faggin set about his next task at Intel – designing the first 8-bit ...

An insightful molecular mechanism of how Microprocessor has been revealed by scientists: the DROSHA-DGCR8 complex, precisely determines cleavage sites on miRNA-containing primary transcripts ...

Persistent efforts at miniaturisation led to the emergence of microprocessors. Work on the first microprocessor began in 1969 when Busicom Corp, a Japanese company, asked Intel to make a unit of ...

Nanoelectronics breakthrough could make microprocessor chips work 1,000 times faster (Nanowerk News) Advancement in nanoelectronics, which is the use of nanotechnology in electronic components, has ...

As microprocessors have gotten faster and smaller, they’ve also become too hot to use in server designs. Intel allegedly abandoned its Tejas microprocessor work because of heat and leakage concerns.

Easy: build a 16-bit computer from 74HC logic chips. Attentive readers will likely remember this computer’s builder, [Paulo Constantino], from his previous work on 8-bit breadboard computers.

James Newman was tired of trying to intuitively understand how modern microprocessors work -- so he built his own "megaprocessor," a fully functional CPU with LEDs to show where and how the chip ...

Furthermore, it brings out a comprehensive understanding how Microprocessor acts differently on various pri-miRNA substrates with different sequence and structural features, and clarify decade ...
