Microprocessors turn 30
News He had developed silicon gate technology, which allowed designers to drop aluminum transistor gates, which were far larger and harder to control. The foundation of modern computing was something of an accident.

3D displays emerge as commercial reality
News The monitor, which does not require the use of special glasses, contains two thin-film transistor panels separated by a parallax barrier, which directs pixel images to two separate regions so that each eye receives a slightly different image.

IBM thinks big about nanotechnology
News Circuits are etched onto silicon-based chips through lithography, an expensive process in which light is directed through a series of masks that map the transistor pattern. IBM has created a small group within its semiconductor division to work...

AMD releases Opteron benchmarks
News The billion transistor budget could also be use to build encryption functions right into a chip and to create better processing for .Net and Java, Crawford added. At the Microprocessor Forum in San Jose, California this week, AMD's chief technology...

Intel claims 0.13-micron milestone
News Transistor speeds will increase 50 to 60 percent while consuming about 20 percent less power than P858 transistors, he said. Intel on Tuesday divulged some of the secrets behind its next-generation 0.13-micron manufacturing process.

Intel looks to fibre-optics to speed chips
News Transistor bloat is creating a situation where extreme amounts of power are being corralled into tiny spaces, and this puts pressure on the interconnects. When it comes to developing faster computers, Intel has seen the light.
