A microprocessor is the most complex manufactured product on earth. In fact, it takes hundreds of steps in the world's cleanest environment (a microprocessor fab, or fabrication plant) to make them.

the history of the most important invention of the 20th century: the transistor. Also... see the television documentary hosted by Ira Flatow, airing on local PBS stations in the fall of 1999. This ...

Within a microprocessor, electrical current in a transistor flows from a power source through a gate to a power drain. Most microprocessors today measure 90 nanometers as the shortest distance ...

The researchers behind the paper state that the new silicon-free transistor has the potential to be 40% faster than top silicon-based chips from companies such as Intel, while also using 10% less ...

Intel released its 16-bit 8086 microprocessor in 1978, giving rise to what would become the most commercially successful CPU architecture in personal computing systems.

Intel has announced the world’s first 3-D microprocessor transistor for mass production. It’s a major breakthrough for the semiconductor industry, which has been trying for years to get the ...
