As the global semiconductor industry enters the so-called 2-nanometer process era, the actual size of transistors—the core components of semiconductor chips—still remains above 10 nm. How much smaller,

Modern CPU transistor counts are enormous -- AMD announced earlier this month that a full implementation of its 7nm Epyc "Rome" CPU weighs in at 32 billion transistors. To this, Cerebras Technology says: "Hold my beer." The AI-focused company has designed ...

IBM today announced what it calls the world's first sub-1 nanometer chip technology, unveiling a new 0.7nm (7 angstrom) semiconductor process built around an entirely new transistor architecture dubbed "nanostack.

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. Electronic devices based on 2D semiconductors are considered one of the most promising alternatives to complement silicon devices in future ...

It's been nearly eight years since Intel canceled Tejas and announced its plans for a new multi-core architecture. The press wasted little time in declaring conventional CPU scaling dead -- and while the media has a tendency to bury products, trends, and ...

“To improve transistor density and electronic performance, next-generation semiconductor devices are adopting three-dimensional architectures and feature sizes down to the few-nm regime, which require atomic-scale metrology to identify and resolve ...

One of South Africa’s leading computer scientists has weighed in on the significance of the first sub-1nm chip.

The rapid advancement and diffusion of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as the machine learning models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and similar platforms, have posed new demands on the electronics engineering industry.
