Zoom into a computer chip: Watch this video to fully appreciate just how magical modern microchips are

2014-11-13 20:24:50| Extremetech

I don't think you appreciate just how magical the computer chip at the heart of your smartphone or PC really is. In the case of a smartphone's SoC, you essentially have a single less-than-a-square-inch package that enables you to do almost anything, from playing games, to accessing a cellular network, to contactlessly paying for your groceries. Let's zoom in on a CPU to see just how it performs all of those functions.

DARPA creates first 1THz computer chip, earns Guinness World Record

2014-10-31 15:50:53| Extremetech

DARPA, the US military's R&D division, has been awarded a Guinness World Record for creating the world's fastest solid-state chip, clocked at one terahertz -- or 1,000 gigahertz, if that's easier to digest. Computers and radio systems that operate up in the terahertz range have some very interesting and powerful properties, from the creation of hand-held tricorders and security scanners, through to wireless networks that are hundreds of times faster than 2.4 and 5GHz WiFi.

All-graphene computer chip could steer us past the 22nm copper and silicon bottleneck

2013-10-25 18:13:47| Extremetech

The copper wires in computer chips can only get so thin before the increased resistance and other manufacturing issues make them unworkable. Graphene, however, by virtue of its status as a wonder material, isn't hindered by the same puny restrictions as copper and could theoretically scale down to just a handful of nanometers or less, allowing for the creation of computer chips that are orders of magnitude more dense and powerful, while consuming less energy.
