Microprocessors are generic devices that you may use for specific applications. Decoupling the memory interface from the microprocessor keeps the processor more generic in scope and enables multiple ...

Researchers have developed a microprocessor built on high-performance plastic rather than silicon—and they say it could enable smarter food labels and supply chain management.

For example, if you know anything about binary notation, then you know that a 4-bit op code allows the processor to map up to 2^4 mnemonics, which means that it can have up to 2^4 or 16 ...

A microprocessor is the heart of a modern computer, a chip made up of millions of transistors and other elements organized into specific functional operating units, including arithmetic units ...

"The capabilities of, for example, having a microprocessor of incredible capacity as a hearing aid, was not obvious in 1971," Faggin said. Intel engineer Federico Faggin.
