The 4002 DRAM had a few simple mistakes, and 4003 I/O chip also worked the first time. The first wafers for the 4004 were ready in December, but when tried, they failed to do anything.

The microprocessor is a computer processor of arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry on a single integrated circuit. The ...

MIPS Technologies has added a number of enhancements to its base architecture that make its embedded microprocessors look more like microcontrollers. The main additions have been used in ...

When we learn about the internals of a microprocessor, we are shown a diagram that resembles the 8-bit devices of the 1970s. There will be an ALU, a program counter, a set of registers, and address… ...

In the beginning. Intel’s first microprocessor was the 4-bit 4004, which was made for a Japanese calculator in 1971. That was quickly followed by the 8-bit 8008 and in 1975 by the 8-bit 8080 chip.

Innovation as the solution. These are serious problems with no clear – or simple – answers, but I’m confident they’ll be solved. About 15 years ago, the microprocessor architecture ...

The shift from Arm to RISC-V microprocessor cores marks a significant change for Qualcomm and a huge design win for the RISC-V architecture.

AheadComputing has raised $21.5M to develop a 64-bit RISC-V microprocessor Led by ex-Intel engineers, it sees RISC-V ...
