Imec, the world’s most advanced semiconductor research firm, recently shared its sub-1nm silicon and transistor roadmap at its ITF World event in Antwerp, Belgium. The roadmap gives us an idea of the timelines through 2036 for the next major process nodes and transistor architectures the company will research and develop in its labs in cooperation…
The idea of silicon transistor and processors is so . . . 2022. Researchers in Sweden have designed and tested the first wooden transistors. Teams at Linköping University in Norrköping, and the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, have published a paper titled Electrical current modulation in wood electrochemical transistors, which discusses the creation, capabilities,…
Intel released nine research papers at IEDM 2022 that lay the groundwork for future chip designs as the company looks to deliver on its promise of developing processors with over a trillion transistors by 2030. The research includes new 2D materials for transistors, new 3D packaging technology that narrows the performance and power gap between chiplet…
When Nvidia introduced its Adda Lovelace series of graphics processing units earlier this week, it concentrated its top-of-the-range AD102 GPU and its flagshipGeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. There aren’t too many details about the AD103 and AD104 graphics chips. Happily, Nvidia has uploaded its Ada Lovelace whitepaper today that includes loads of data on the…
Imec, the most advanced semiconductor research firm in the world, recently shared its sub-‘1nm’ silicon and transistor roadmap at its Future Summit event in Antwerp, Belgium. The roadmap gives us a rough idea of the timelines through 2036 for the next major process nodes and transistor architectures the company will research and develop in its…
Although Intel disclosed performance figures for its Arc Alchemist-based ACM-G10 and ACM-G11 graphics processing units (GPUs) in their formal introduction on March 30, it didn’t disclose transistor counts and die sizes. As it turns out, Intel’s lower-performance ACM-G11 has a rather ample transistor budget, whereas the higher-performing ACM-G10 is relatively conservative, which is comparable to that of Nvidia’s…
