The name Intel has long been associated with microprocessors powering PCs, and more recently has been associated with a struggling semiconductor supplier trying to regain its footing in the AI era.

Classified history: Intel's 4004 has long been celebrated as a milestone in the early history of personal computing. However, decades after its introduction, it's been revealed that an iconic fighter ...

Abstract: The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm admits a natural parallelization wherein the point multiplication step can be split in two parts and executed in parallel. Further parallelism ...

Together, the four founders of Beaverton startup AheadComputing spent nearly a century at Intel. They were among Intel’s top chip architects, working years in advance to develop new generations of ...

The Intel 8051 series of 8-bit microcontrollers is long-discontinued by its original manufacturer, but lives on as a core included in all manner of more recent chips. It’s easy to understand and ...

The MCS 151 and 251 cores are binary-code-compatible with the 8051. (The 251 has additional instructions.) The 151 maintains the 80C51 accumulator-based core compatibility, and the 251 is a ...

The 8051 is an accumulator-based design with 255 instructions. A basic instruction cycle takes 12 clocks; however, Dallas Semiconductor redesigned the instruction-execution circuitry to reduce the ...

Characteristics and contrasts with microprocessors. Hints on selecting and deploying microcontrollers. What might be on the horizon for microcontrollers, especially the competition between Von Neumann ...

A microprocessor is a complex, programmable integrated circuit (IC) on a single chip that can execute instructions. This generally includes CPUs found in computers but also refers to the ...

Last week, chip manufacturer Zilog announced that after 48 years on the market, its line of standalone DIP (dual inline package) Z80 CPUs is coming to an end, ceasing sales on June 14, 2024. The 8-bit ...
