Computers still pale in comparison to nature’s version – the brain. Now Intel has unveiled its most powerful “neuromorphic” computing system. Named Pohoiki Springs, it packs in 100 million neurons, putting it on par with the brain of a small mammal.
-
Engineers from MIT and the University of Colorado have developed a new microfabrication technique and used it to produce the smallest 3D transistors ever made, measuring about a third the size of the current leading commercial products.

To keep up with a constant flood of data, computer makers have thrown more processing cores at the problem. Forging a different path, HPE has overhauled the architecture itself to put memory at the center of the system, showcasing it through a prototype it calls The Machine.
-
Several benefits previously exclusive to Qualcomm's high-end 800 series processors are coming to the mid-ranged 600 series. If smartphone makers push these chips to their full capabilities, budget phones could have much more to offer.
-
Computer data commutes from the system memory to the processor, but now researchers have found a way to help that data effectively work from home. The team is developing chips that can process information where it’s stored, potentially allowing for faster, smaller and more efficient devices.
-
Swarm, a new chip architecture developed at MIT, automates critical aspects of parallel processing to speed up multi-core CPUs by up to 75 times, while requiring programmers to write a fraction of the code.
-
Equipped with 10,649,600 computing cores and capable of carrying out some 93 quadrillion calculations per second, the world's fastest supercomputer has just been announced: Twice and fast and three times as efficient as its nearest rival
-
At Computex 2016 in Taiwan this week, Intel announced a new line of high-end CPUs, including a beefy 10-core processor. The Core i7 processor Extreme Edition is designed for gaming in 4K and VR, as well as performance-hungry content creation like editing 4K or 360 videos.
