For example, the Intel 8088 chip used in the original IBM PC had a clock speed of 8 MHz; in September 2012, an Intel Core i7 processor topped out at 3.6 GHz. The traditional unit of memory is the ...

Edge AI tech has been around for years by now but is fast growing. | Hailo CTO tells Fierce that a careful balance of memory ...

Move data too far—which could be from a processor at one end of a large chip to memory at the other end of the die—or drive signals through wires that are too thin, and the power requirements increase ...

For example, purchasing a dual- or quad-core 2.8 GHz processor will likely serve you better than purchasing a single-core 3.4 GHz processor.

MIT Develops 3D Chip That Integrates CPU, Memory A new type of chip manufacturing could one day lead to designs that stack CPU and logic in the same 3D structure, drastically improving performance.

The area of any part of a design contributes both to the silicon cost and to the power consumption. A simplistic following of the “A” in a processor IP vendor’s PPA numbers can be misleading. A ...

The memory chips attached to the 80-core processor are SRAM, a relatively expensive memory that Intel still makes. The next step is to see how well DRAM works with TSV.
