Rethinking the chip To work around these issues, the team retouched the design of the quantum processor. The processor is designed to be modular, in a way that different components can be pre-selected ...

AI is changing processor design in fundamental ways, combining customized processing elements for specific AI workloads with more traditional processors for other tasks. But the tradeoffs are ...

As the demand for high-performance processors continues to grow and semiconductor scaling laws continue to show their limits, the need for processor optimization is inevitable. As I explained in a ...

HOUSTON – (Sept. 27, 2023) Rice University computer scientists have won two grants from the National Science Foundation to explore new information processing technologies and applications that combine ...

“Disruptive products cannot be built from legacy chips,” Apple Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies Johny Srouji said when he spoke at ITF World in Belgium in May. He was there to receive ...

The Power architecture doesn’t get the attention it deserves. With Power5 servers finally shipping, even non-Big Blue shops should take look again If all things were equal and IBM made its systems as ...

Why this new architecture was the best thing at CES 2026. What is a dataflow architecture? Why Efficient Computer’s Electron E1 processor design is so radical. How the Electron E1 is able to be so ...

Unlike the typical quantum chip design that lays the information-processing qubits onto a 2D grid, the team from the Cleland ...
