Two semiconductor materials, both alike in exciting properties, have been combined by researchers and placed on a single wafer to create a chip for applications that have a need for speed.
The low-power Tile-Gx9 processors are designed to go into high-throughput networks equipment to help with security.
Intel researchers believe they have a workable manufacturing method for 10nm processors, paving the way for future chips that consume less power and have greater performance than their forebears.
The Intel Developer Forum will see Intel fight a major PR battle with arch-mobile-device-rival ARM, as well as try to fend off incursions into its datacentre territory from AMD and ARM.
ARM has teamed up with one of the world's largest contract chipmakers to make sure it can get the best performance out of its chip designs when manufactured by other companies
The multi-year deal sees ARM tie itself even closer to TSMC, its chip-fabber of choice, as it looks to capitalise on the company's technology to help it maintain a lead over Intel for chip power efficiency
The Many Integrated Core processor will now be known as Xeon Phi, stressing its pairing with powerfully cored Xeons to help generate enthusiasm for the chip among the supercomputing community
By demonstrating Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin running on an ARM-based server, Calxeda has taken an important step in bringing the low-power RISC-architecture chips to the server market
The processors, scheduled for release this week, are built on Intel's tri-gate design and promise better graphics along with integrated PCI 3.0 and USB 3.0 support
The low-power processors are designed for web hosts that want a reasonable degree of throughput without consuming too much power and will compete with Intel's Xeon E3 chips
