New research paper titled “FlexiCores: low footprint, high yield, field reprogrammable flexible microprocessors” from researchers at University of Illinois and PragmatIC Semiconductor. “Flexible ...

[Scott Baker] is at it again and this time he has built a 4-bit single board computer based on the Intel 4004 microprocessor. In the board design [Scott] covers the CPU (both the Intel 4004 and 4040 ...

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 ...

Sunday, November 15 marked the 44th anniversary of the Intel 4004, which was the company's first commercially available microprocessor. The 4-bit microprocessor was used in the likes of calculators ...

In 1958 the integrated circuit was developed by a young engineer at Texas Instruments named Jack St. Clair Kilby. He put together a few transistors and capacitors, linking them with a thin layer of ...

A microprocessor is a complex, programmable integrated circuit (IC) on a single chip that can execute instructions. This generally includes CPUs found in computers but also refers to the ...

This is part of a series of posts about the circumstances leading up to the launch of the Altair 8800 in the January, 1975 issue of Popular Electronics. In my last post, I talked about the dawn of the ...

Tensilica’s Steve Leibson makes a strong case for the end of 16-bit processors, as he says 32-bit devices offer a clear advantage over their smaller brethren Like many 19th and 20th-century ...
