Forty years ago today, electronics and semiconductor trade newspaper Electronic News ran an advertisement for a new kind of chip. The Intel 4004, a $60 chip in a 16-pin dual in-line package, was an ...

“We always hoped that something like this could be built – now we know that it can be built,” says Max Shulaker, professor at MIT and corresponding author on this latest report. Carbon nanotubes have ...

A 16-bit offset (allowing a 64-kbyte segment) is added to the segment base address (segment register shifts four bits left) to attain a 20-bit address. The segment-pointer registers point to the ...

Thirty years ago, on June 8, 1978, Intel Corp. introduced its first 16-bit microprocessor, the 8086, with a splashy ad heralding “the dawn of a new era.” Overblown? Sure, but also prophetic. While the ...

Operations within Siemens 166/165/167 µCs center on 16-bit registers in as many as 16 banks, as well as on a 16-bit program counter and a 16-bit program-status word. The dual-ported RAM banks let the ...

Scientists at MIT built a 16-bit microprocessor out of carbon nanotubes and even ran a program on it, a new paper reports. Silicon-based computer processors seem to be approaching a limit to how small ...

The D68000-BDM soft core is binary-compatible with the industry standard 68000 32-bit microcoprocessor. It has a 16-bit data bus and a 24-bit address ...

This processor is an advanced version of the indigenously designed 16-bit Vikram 1601 microprocessor, which has been operating in the avionics system of ISRO's launch vehicles since 2009, ISRO said in ...
