Quantum Mechanics In Your Processor: Tunneling And Transistors
If any internal barriers get thinner than a nanometer, too much current will tunnel through when the transistor is off. It might be useful, however, to design a processor to use quantum mechanics ...
A 32-bit processor made with an atomically thin semiconductor
It can only add single bits at a time and is limited to kilohertz clock speeds, but it is capable of executing the full ...
A 32-bit RISC-V processor made using molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon
A team of engineers at Fudan University has successfully designed, built and run a 32-bit RISC-V microprocessor that uses ...

2D 32-bit RISC-V processor
Chinese researchers have built a 32-bit RISC-V processor using molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) on sapphire substrate. The ...
Researchers get spiking neural behavior out of a pair of transistors
Examples like Intel's Loihi chips tend to get competitive performance out of far lower clock speeds and energy use, but they ...
Zahlen, bitte! The Pentium contains a complicated circuit to multiply by three
The Intel Pentium has a separate section just for multiplication by 3, which has more transistors than a Z80 had in total.

3D Transistors Are Coming to Save Moore's Law
Transistors have been shrinking reliably since ... For example, if you’re trying to manufacture a 16-core CPU and only half of the cores wind up working, you can just disable the defective ...
