In a previous article (Intel: The Nanometer Games) I dived into some technical detail concerning the current state of semiconductor manufacturing. Here, I will dive into Intel's quest for transistor ...
TL;DR: AMD's RDNA 4-based Navi 48 GPU, featured in the Radeon RX 9070 XT, boasts 53.9 billion transistors, surpassing NVIDIA's GB203 GPU in the GeForce RTX 5080. The Navi 48 is reportedly 350mm², ...
For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is ...
The future began 75 years ago this week with the invention of the transistor. We’ve been looking at the ecosystems of innovation that grew the transistor into the interconnected, digital revolution.
University of Illinois researchers have muscled aside IBM and other electronics industry giants to create the fastest transistor yet, and they aren't planning to stop there. The UI transistor has a ...
AF114 germanium transistors and related ones like the AF115 through AF117 were quite popular during the 1960s, but they quickly developed a reputation for failure. This is due to what should have made ...
Bioengineers at Stanford University have created the first biological transistor made from genetic materials: DNA and RNA. Dubbed the "transcriptor," this biological transistor is the final component ...
Japan's computer giant NEC Corp said it has developed the world's smallest transistor, a breakthrough that could make it possible to build a supercomputer the size of a personal computer. An NEC ...
