What we are going to do is design a simple 4-bit computer at the primitive logic gate and flip-flop level and then implement it in the technology of our choice I’ve often wondered what would happen if ...

How would we handle metastability in our 4-bit computer if we were to implement it as a microcontroller chip, a single-board computer, or a cabinet-based system? Now, after laying all of this ...

MikroLeo is a discrete TTL logic-based microcomputer intended for educational purposes created by [Edson Junior Acordi], an Electronics Professor at the Brazilian Federal Institute of Paraná, Brazil.

I guess this is a real thing? https://www.neowin.net/news/intel-w...sed-64-bit-only-cpu-architecture-called-x86s/ I guess so... here's the white paper on Intel's site ...

Today’s CPUs are so advanced that they might as well be indistinguishable from magic, right? Wrong! Fundamentally, modern CPUs can be understood logically like any other technology, it’s just that ...

Deep learning is an inefficient energy hog. It requires massive amounts of data and abundant computational resources, which explodes its electricity consumption. In the last few years, the overall ...

In 1971, Intel Corp. introduced its first microprocessor chip, the 4004. The 4-bit processor chugged along at a mere 104 KHz. In the 35 years since then, processor clock speeds—and performance—have ...

The term "Bit Slicing" was once dominant in history books as a technique for constructing a processor from processor modules of smaller bit width where each of these components processes one field or ...

As expected, the Raspberry Pi foundation has launched a new version of their low-cost single-board computer. The new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is a $35 computer with a 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core, ...

Why it matters: Zilog is retiring the Z80 after 48 years on the market. Originally developed as a project stemming from the Intel 8080, it eventually rose to become one of the most popular and widely ...
