What exactly does 130nm, 90nm, and 65nm represent when talking about cpu fabrication processes? Well, I assume transistor size, but are all the transistors the same size? Or is this the smallest or ...

LONDON — Intel Corp. has started sampling an Itanium-2, 64-bit microprocessor that was made by linking together 1.72 billion transistors. The processor, codenamed Montecito, was discussed as far back ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Intel Corp. today (Oct. 15) described how it could combine four Itanium 2 cores that share a large cache memory to create a processor with more than 1 billion transistors. In a ...

What just happened? Researchers from the Vienna University of Technology have developed an adaptive transistor designed to provide more flexibility during run-time. The revolutionary new transistor ...

Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. on late Thursday debuted the Exynos 2600, a high-end mobile chip based on its latest ...

Modern CPU transistor counts are enormous -- AMD announced earlier this month that a full implementation of its 7nm Epyc "Rome" CPU weighs in at 32 billion transistors. To this, Cerebras Technology ...

The processors in today’s computers have grown tremendously in performance, capabilities and complexity over the past decade. Clock speed has skyrocketed, and size has dwindled, even as the number of ...

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 ...

Cerebras CS-1 is actually quite small considering its processing power, with the 26-inch-tall PC packing an insane 400,000 cores and an even crazier 1.2 trillion transistors. The 400,000-core ...

Montecito exceeds the billion-transistor count because the Itanium-2 processor architecture is itself complex — a 64-bit processor intended for server applications — and the Montecito model ...
