Jeff Dean, head of Google’s AI efforts, describes how the company is experimenting with designing its chips using machine learning algorithms in place of some of the human design effort. The ...

If you read ExtremeTech regularly, you will have noticed that we love die shots -- close-up photographs of the transistors, wiring, and other circuitry at the core of every digital computer chip ...

Building a computer chip might seem like a typical process similar to constructing a car in a factory, but it's significantly more complex and microscopic.

Making chips go faster is a matter of making transistors smaller. Tinier transistors -- the electronic on/off switches from which all computer logic is built -- not only fit more processing onto a ...

Becoming the Silicon Valley of the Northeast may have as much power as the computer chips that will soon be designed and developed in the upstate New York region. The recent Chips 101 event, hosted by ...

Researchers have found a way to produce computer chips largely from cellulose, a wood-derived material.

I don't think you appreciate just how magical the computer chip at the heart of your smartphone or PC really is. In the case of a smartphone's SoC, you essentially have a single less-than-a-square ...

This article is part of the On Tech newsletter. You can sign up here to receive it weekdays. Most people need toilet paper and computer chips every day, and yet we rarely think about either of ...

How chip manufacturers choose to make this transistor design compatible with their processes would determine the availability of this level of security. A chip computes using millions of transistors ...

When Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed Friday that the company is working with the Trump administration on a new computer chip ...
