Microprocessor
2 reportsMicroprocessor is computing hardware whose architecture, fabrication, performance, power use, and failure modes shape system behavior. Evaluation relies on power consumption, processor architecture, and fabrication process, including the costs, limitations, and tradeoffs hidden by a single headline metric.
Work involving Microprocessor is reported through chip architecture; performance per watt; and memory and interconnects. The strength of statements about chip architecture depends on how well independent hardware analysis is supported by standard benchmarks; the conclusion remains provisional because vendor specifications may not represent sustained performance in real workloads.

Zilog Z80 Microprocessor Ends Production After Nearly 50 Years
The Zilog Z80, a foundational 8-bit microprocessor for early computing and embedded systems, has reached end-of-life status after decades of use, raising questions about legacy hardware support and the persistence of retrocomputing communities
UCLA Team Integrates Terahertz Generation and Detection on One Chip
A UCLA research group has demonstrated a semiconductor chip that combines terahertz signal generation and detection, using quantum-well photodiodes and standard fabrication methods, potentially enabling scalable terahertz systems for communications and sensing
