IBM and Stanford University on Monday announced a joint effort to conduct further research into spintronics, a technology that one day could lead to rapid-fire digital cameras or computers that start working as soon as the power comes on.
Intel and Microsoft announced on Tuesday they are jointly backing university research to help address the challenges posed by a shift to processors with many brains.
Scientists from the IBM Zurich Research Lab and the Fraunhofer Institute in Berlin are working on a microchip that uses micropipes of water to cool itself.
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.
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.
Does the improved credit card security offered by chip and PIN-embedded credit cards mean a future of greater personal liability?
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.
Advanced Micro Devices is laying out billions of dollars to acquire ATI and get into the often-painful world of graphics chips.
Would you avoid buying a PC with an Advanced Micro Devices chip inside because it wouldn't let you host an Internet conference call with six of your friends?
AMD, Infineon and United Microelectronics are to work together to develop manufacturing processes that allow even more microelements to be included in chips.
The prototype of a short-range gigabit wireless chip, which promises more than 2Gbps throughput speeds and costs just AU$10, will be unveiled by the end of this year, according to researchers from National ICT Australia (NICTA).
Twelve companies are combining silicon know-how in a bid to boost the country's chip competitiveness in a cutthroat global market.
AMD, Infineon and United Microelectronics are to work together to develop manufacturing processes that allow even more microelements to be included in chips.
Researchers at Advanced Micro Devices report significant new design techniques that the company says will lead--eventually--to higher chip performance.
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 graphics chipmaker inked a manufacturing deal with Big Blue so it could avoid putting all of its graphics chips in one basket.
