Researchers have developed a microprocessor built on high-performance plastic rather than silicon—and they say it could enable smarter food labels and supply chain management. Christopher Intagliata: ...

Researchers have built a primitive microprocessor out of a two-dimensional material similar to graphene, the flexible conductive wonder material that some believe will revolutionize the design and ...

A microprocessor is a complex, programmable integrated circuit (IC) on a single chip that can execute instructions. This generally includes CPUs found in computers but also refers to the ...

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 ...

You’d think that the 8086 microprocessor, a 40-year-old chip with a mere 29,000 transistors on board that kicked off the 16-bit PC revolution, would have no more tales left to tell. But as [Ken ...

The Cell Broadband Engine is an advanced multicore microprocessor optimized for compute-intensive workloads and various broadband media applications including computer entertainment, movies, and other ...

The Fruit Jam is a single board computer (SBC) that’s about the size of a credit card, or a Raspberry Pi Model B. But while the latest Raspberry Pi SBCs are powered by a 2.4 GHz quad-core ARM ...
