The microprocessor, built specifically to run machine learning algorithms, is covered in colorful tiles that help it stand out on a server rack. Computer chips work behind the scenes, powering your ...

Researchers from Yokohama National University in Japan have developed a prototype microprocessor using superconductor devices that are about 80 times more energy efficient than the state-of-the-art ...

As NPR marks its 50th anniversary, we look back at an innovation that also changed the world in 1971: the unveiling of the first commercially produced microprocessor. NPR turned 50 this year. And to ...

When the microprocessor and inexpensive ROM memory arrived in the early 1970s, building small, stored-program computing systems became practical. System designers learned that with the rapidly growing ...

Microprocessor testing and self-test techniques constitute a critical domain in ensuring the reliability and performance of modern computing devices. These methodologies encompass both hardware and ...

COMMENTARY The first and perhaps most important lesson I learned in business is that not a whole lot of what they teach you in school matters. That's because most of what you learn in school is theory ...

In 1958 the integrated circuit was developed by a young engineer at Texas Instruments named Jack St. Clair Kilby. He put together a few transistors and capacitors, linking them with a thin layer of ...

Integrating processors, sensors, and data exchange functionality into everyday objects, the Internet of Things (IoT) pushes computing capabilities far beyond desktops and servers. On December 6, ...

40 years after Intel patented the first microprocessor, BBC News talks to one of the key employees who made that world changing innovation happen. Ted Hoff saved his own life, sort of. Deep inside ...
