Major players in the microprocessors market are Mediatek, Samsung, Toshiba, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung Semiconductor, Broadcom, Freescale Semiconductor, MediaTek, and Nvidia. The global ...

Current on-board processing is based on microprocessors or FPGAs, neither of which are optimised for AI in-orbit characterisation of objects. The former are good for control, complex decision making ...

MOST MICROPROCESSORS—the chips that do the grunt work in computers—are built around designs, known as instruction-set architectures (ISAs), which are owned either by Intel, an American giant ...

For more complex microprocessors, which implement elaborate instruction sets, the same approach works. However, since the design is more complex, there are more test cases to cover. Most of these ...

Microprocessors are now sold like perfume: the price on the label has no connection to the cost of the ingredients. It's tempting to assume some meaningful relationship between cost and price. Save ...

Microprocessors based on atomically thin materials hold the promise of the evolution of traditional processors as well as new applications in the field of flexible electronics. Now, a team has ...

While Krzanich says that having conflict-free microprocessors won’t add any costs to Intel’s products, a lot of pricey travel and manpower has gone into the effort. Stacks of refined (left) ...

Embedded microprocessors are computer chips used inside devices other than computers to provide added functionality, often in the areas of control and monitoring. You can’t see them, but they ...
