I suppose, in the early days of the microprocessor race, being able to quote ever-increasing transistor counts would’ve been a useful marketing boast: Z80, 8000 transistors! 8086: 29,000 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
