Modern computer chips contain billions of transistors etched onto a fingernail-sized piece of silicon. In fact, a typical smartphone processor now contains on the order of 15 billion transistors ...

It's time to dig inside to understand how the internal CPU components are designed. We'll discuss transistors, logic gates, power and clock delivery, design synthesis, and verification.

Without transistors the modern world would simply not exist. But how do they work, and how do modern, atomic sized versions compare with the originals?

How does computer memory work? To truly understand how computer memory works, we must first examine the basic building blocks that make it possible: transistors and logic gates.

Traditional computer processors work in binary —the billions of transistors that handle information on your laptop or smartphone are either on (1) or they’re off (0).

Yes, transistors are smaller, CPUs are ever faster, but we're seeing diminishing returns. Learn about 3D integration, FPGAs, chiplets, accelerators and near memory computing.

Future innovations in high-mobility transistors require looking at new materials and platforms as well as finding ways to work around existing practical limitations such as cost or material ...

IBM, Samsung Tout New Vertical Transistor for Future Computer Chips The companies announce a new 'VTFET' transistor design to help sustain Moore's Law for years to come.
