MOST MICROPROCESSORS—the chips that do the grunt work in computers—are built around designs, known as instruction-set architectures (ISAs), which are owned either by Intel, an American giant ...

Microprocessors based on atomically thin materials hold the promise of the evolution of traditional processors as well as new applications in the field of flexible electronics. Now, a TU Wien ...

Embedded microprocessors are computer chips used inside devices other than computers to provide added functionality, often in the areas of control and monitoring. You can’t see them, but they ...

Space-grade microprocessors, FPGAs and ACAPs are complementary on-board processing technologies each offering unique strengths. In-orbit, Edge-based processing requires real-time computation of large ...

Microchip (MCHP) Technology has announced the PIC64HX family of microprocessors. Unlike traditional MPUs, the PIC64HX is purpose built to address the unique demands of intelligent edge designs ...

Intel has announced that its entire 2014 line of microprocessors will be conflict-mineral free (tin, tantalum and tungsten), in its CES keynote address. Previously, the company joined the ...

Ed Ballam illustrates how microprocessors are coming on strong and in the fire service. You train them once and they almost never forget what they've learned. Microprocessors, or mini computers ...

If you maintain an interest in vintage computers, you may well know something of the early history of the microprocessor, how Intel’s 4-bit 4004, intended for a desktop calculator, was the fi… ...

Intel has announced that its next-generation 45nm microprocessors will be produced using 100 percent lead-free technology. Although Intel has taken steps in the past to eliminate the use of lead ...

Current research efforts in nanophotonics, such as the Photonically Optimized Embedded Microprocessors (POEM) program, propose using light, instead of electrical wires, in microprocessors to ...
