Researchers at the University of Michigan have designed chips that use 30,000 times less power in sleep mode and 10 per cent less in active mode than comparable processors, putting an end to overweight battery syndrome.
Intel entered the burgeoning clean-tech sector on Monday by creating SpectraWatt, a spinoff company that will manufacture solar cells, following IBM's latest foray into solar technology
The new chips, described by the company as entirely Core 2 Duo-compatible but with a tenth of the power requirements, will first reach the market in a fleet of partner mobile Internet devices (MIDs) in late May or early June.
Australian researchers from National ICT Australia (NICTA) have developed a lower power, short range chip for wireless communications that can achieve up to 5Gbps -- allowing them to transfer a complete DVD in a matter of seconds.
AMD has dramatically revised its road map for server processors, adding a new six-core processor and pushing out the arrival of a next-generation core well into the next decade.
Does the improved credit card security offered by chip and PIN-embedded credit cards mean a future of greater personal liability?
According to one security vendor, Mac users are at a crossroad this year: will or won't they prove to be as gullible as their PC cousins when it comes to security?
Let us develop an appreciation for tech's greatest comedians -- intentional or otherwise.
In the world of processors, attention seems firmly focused on the fast-paced desktop and mobile markets. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing going on in server-land.
Multicore processors have been around since 2005, when Intel shipped its first dual-core processor and the advantages of many cores have been widely touted, but a working model for costing software to work with them is still on its way.
Company president and chief operating officer Dirk Meyer is being groomed to succeed Hector Ruiz, but first he must prove that last year's engineering mistakes were an aberration.
Google's Andy Rubin talks nuts and bolts about the Linux-based phone software, the lessons of Sidekick, and the beauty of the iPhone.
A look at how Intel chips have evolved -- from the revolutionary 4004 to the teraflop-ready 80-core prototype of tomorrow.
Big Blue will team with Advanced Micro Devices to develop future chip technologies, an alliance that will better insulate AMD from the growing risks of making processors.
The Korean electronics giant says it has developed the world's fastest mobile CPU, which runs at a core speed of 533MHz, and outpaces Intel's processor. But for how long?
Sun Microsystems will likely adopt the Opteron processor from Advanced Micro Devices as it extends into new branches of the server market.
Advanced Micro Devices is looking to drum up support for its forthcoming 64-bit Opteron server chip.
The memory company branches out of chip design by developing an interconnect technology, dubbed Redwood, that it says does the same job as Hypertransport or Rapid I/O--only faster.
