Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

If we were to identify one component as “the building block of computers,” it would have to be the Transistor. Invented at Bell Labs in 1947, the transistor is a small electronic device used in all ...

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? The word "transitor" has become almost invisible ...

A CPU, or central processing unit, is a vital part of your computer or phone, and is responsible for executing every command you or an app makes.

AMD heeft de hoeveelheid transistors die het in zijn Bulldozer-processors gebruikt niet correct opgegeven. Volgens een rectificatie bevatten de high-end processors aanzienlijk minder transistors dan ...

For any given processor it’s generally easy to find a statistic on the number of transistors used to construct it, with the famous Intel 8086 CPU generally said to contain 29,000 transistors. This is ...

What exactly does 130nm, 90nm, and 65nm represent when talking about cpu fabrication processes? Well, I assume transistor size, but are all the transistors the same size? Or is this the smallest or ...
