Our ability to continuously shrink the features of our silicon-based processors appears to be a thing of the past, which has materials scientists considering ways to move beyond silicon. The top ...

The launch of a new architecture that melds circuitry for a high-performance 16-bit microcontroller with that for a moderate-performance digital signal processor promises to make motor control, ...

Packing a 16-bit RISC processor core into a USB controller eliminates many memory and processor performance limitations and keeps power consumption low. This lets the controllers handle more of the ...
