As TSMC and Intel head closer to direct competition discussions of transistor density and die size have become increasingly contentious. Such comparisons, however, are fatally flawed. Share on ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...

DARPA-funded IBM researchers today said they have developed a human brain-inspired computer chip loaded with more than 5 billion transistors and 256 million “synapses,” or programmable logic points, ...

As the chip packaging industry gets more advanced, so do the aspirations of Intel. The company aims to make a chip with a trillion transistors by 2030. The chips should double the number of ...

Apple Inc.'s iPhone 15 Pro will be the first smartphone to use TSMC's N3 process, offering new features like powerful graphics and a faster AI accelerator. The N3 process does not actually correspond ...

So, Nvidia's new AI monster is out, all 208 billion transistors of it. And immediately it's raising some tricky questions about what the hell Nvidia's upcoming Blackwell RTX 50-series graphics chips ...

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. What just happened? After unveiling a chip last year that was both the world's largest and the first ...

IBM and Samsung have announced their latest advance in semiconductor design: a new way to stack transistors vertically on a chip (instead of lying flat on the surface of the semiconductor). The new ...

Just how valuable has the GPU been to computing? Paresh Kharya, the senior director of product management and marketing at Nvidia, likes to say that the company’s chips are already driving a ...

Much has been written about the death of Moore's Law. The "law"—more properly titled an "observation"—was created by one of Intel's founders, Gordon Moore. He noted that the number of components in an ...
