Researchers at Penn State in the US have developed a microscopic, 2D-material-based thermometer designed ...

The semiconductor chips driving modern-day computer processors are covered in billions of individual transistors, each of ...

AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm all have rather anemic desktop processor roadmaps in place for 2026. Combine that with the horrific ...

A stunning new imaging breakthrough lets scientists see — and fix — the atomic flaws hiding inside tomorrow’s computer chips.

X86 emulation is the big unanswered question.

A week into testing Intel’s new Core Ultra X9, the numbers are in. The CPU performance is steady, and the Arc integrated graphics makes PC gaming viable without a GeForce or Radeon chip.

How much this translates into gaming is very much another question.

For almost two decades, scientists have been trying to move beyond silicon, the material ...

Modern high-performance chips are marvels of engineering, containing tens of billions of transistors. The problem is, you can’t use them all at once. If you did, you would create hot spots—high ...

Data centers squander vast amounts of electricity, most of it as heat. The physical properties of diamond offer a potential solution, researchers say. Data centers squander vast amounts of electricity ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a powerful imaging technique that reveals atomic scale defects inside computer chips for the first time. Using an advanced electron microscopy method, ...
