Intel introduced the latest member of its quad-core family of microprocessors Tuesday at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose, Calif. The Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5335 and E5345 are the first, the company said, to bring the Intel architecture-based quad-core performance to the embedded market. A...
Intel on Wednesday laid out its road map for the next year or so, including details about Penryn, its 45nm chip due later this year, as well as the next generation beyond that. The company will begin producing its Penryn chip in the second half of this year, officials said, featuring enhancements to...
IBM researchers are touting a new tiny optical transceiver chipset that can move data at speeds up to 160 GB per second, which is eight times faster than previous optical components. The new chipset generates fast data transfer rates because it uses light pulses to move data instead of sending elect...
Now that IBM and Intel have both created chips using 45nm process technology, it's clear chip technology will continue at least a little longer on the path predicted by Moore's Law, with ever-tinier creations coming out every two years or so. High-k metals, in particular, appear to help solve one o...
A state-of-the-art IBM manufacturing plant located in East Fishkill, N.Y., has become the first facility to produce the 65 nanometer Cell Broadband Engine, the chip maker announced Monday. The Cell chip, developed through a $400 million partnership between IBM, Toshiba and Sony, is the technology un...
Samsung Electronics is putting the finishing touches on an 8 gigabyte chip -- a high-density embedded flash memory device capable of storing up to 2,000 songs on a mobile phone. The South Korea-based company expects to begin mass producing the line of flash memory and firmware chips, called "moviNAN...
Intel welcomed two new additions to its family of quad-core processors Monday with the arrival of the Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors L5320 and L5310. The two server chips sport the added benefit of energy efficiency, operating on 50 watts of power. "We are thrilled to drive further records in lower...
Researchers have fashioned the world's smallest transistor out of a one-atom-thick layer of graphene that's also less than 50 atoms wide. The minuscule graphene-based transistor may be the breakthrough that leads to faster microprocessors, ultimately replacing silicon, which becomes unstable at size...
Advanced Micro Devices has announced the availability of its AMD 690 chipset, the first integrated chipset that includes the recently acquired ATI Radeon X1250 graphics processor. Integration of the Radeon processor means that PCs based on the 690 chipset will not require any additional graphics car...
AMD released two different kinds of desktop processors Tuesday, giving one product line a speed boost while dropping the wattage requirements for the other, more energy-efficient line. On the high end, the company introduced the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor 6000+, which should be available i...
In a move that could signal a massive leap forward in unlocking some of the most complex mysteries of our world, D-Wave Systems has demonstrated what it called the world's first commercially viable quantum computer. The theories behind quantum computing have been around for decades, and the first re...
With the PC graphics market flatlining, AMD announced on Tuesday that it has developed a new outlet for its graphics core technologies. The new enterprise will focus on the development and licensing of "leading-edge graphics core technologies" to semiconductor manufacturers in the handheld industry....
IBM has unveiled its latest microprocessor advance, which promises to use a new on-chip dynamic memory technology to significantly increase chip processing performance. The chip could go into production as early as 2008. In papers presented at the International Solid State Circuits Conference Wedne...
Researchers at Intel unveiled an experimental 80-core microchip Monday at the International Solid States Circuit Conference in San Francisco. Known as a "Teraflop research chip," it is the first programmable microprocessor capable of delivering performance formerly associated only with supercomputer...
