Scaling Compute to Satiate AI
Fifty years ago, DRAM inventor and IEEE Medal of Honor recipient Robert Dennard created what essentially became the semiconductor industry’s path to perpetually increasing transistor density and chip performance. That path became known as Dennard scaling, and it helped codify Gordon Moore’s pos..

Why Not Give Robots Foot-Eyes?
This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. One of the (many) great things about robots is that they don’t have to be constrained by how their biological counterparts do things. If you have a particular problem your robot needs to solve, you ca..

Intel’s Latest FinFET Is Key to Its Foundry Plans
Last week at VLSI Symposium, Intel detailed the manufacturing process that will form the foundation of its foundry service for high-performance data center customers. For the same power consumption, the Intel 3 process results in an 18 percent performance gain over the previous process, Intel 4. On ..

Smart Powerline “Neurons” Boost Grid Capacity
Aging high-voltage transmission lines are a bottleneck in the power grid today, but what if a simple tweak could increase their capacity by up to 40 percent? That’s what Great River Energy in Minnesota is now looking into. After a successful pilot project last year, the company is installing 52 sm..

Is the Future of Moore’s Law in a Particle Accelerator?
As Intel, Samsung, TSMC, and Japan’s upcoming advanced foundry Rapidus each make their separate preparations to cram more and more transistors into every square millimeter of silicon, one thing they all have in common is that the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology underpinning their..
