We’re going to take a step back and look at how CPU speeds have rapidly increased. So now that we’ve built and programmed our very own CPU, we’re going to take a step back and look at how CPU speeds ...

Today we’re going to build the ticking heart of every computer. Take the 2017 PBS Digital Studios Survey: http://surveymonkey.com/r/pbsds2017. Today we’re going ...

The next major advance in computer processors will likely be the move from today's two-dimensional chips to three-dimensional circuits, and the first three-dimensional synchronization circuitry is now ...

Annealing processors are crucial for solving combinatorial optimization problems. However, they face scalability challenges due to the complexity of required architecture. TUS researchers have now ...

How long do you keep and use your smartphone? An estimated two and a half years, on average. The battery dies or there’s this new improved model you just gotta have. In the United States alone, an ...

One of the most frequently touted measures of processor performance is a given chip's speed in gigahertz. Processors with higher GHz ratings can, theoretically, do more in a given unit of time than ...

Zuchongzhi-3, a superconducting quantum computing prototype with 105 qubits and 182 couplers, has made significant advancements in random quantum circuit sampling. This prototype was successfully ...

Overclocking is perfectly safe, I always tell people. I usually don't mention the time I fried a CPU by accidentally giving it a massive unintended jolt of extra voltage. They don't need to know about ...

We have been following D-Wave’s claims about its quantum hardware at Ars for a number of years. Over that time, my impression has oscillated between skepticism, strong skepticism, and mild enthusiasm.
