New material graphene and copper will increase the productivity of future processors


Processors in computers and mobile gadgets are made of millions of transistors. There are determined by many to be the most significant inventions of the 20th century. The performance of each transistor is crucial to the operation of our devices.

New material graphene and copper will increase the productivity of future processors

 Not surprisingly, this is an area which invests huge resources of scientists and technology companies. It is seeking ways to make them smaller, faster and cheaper to produce.


Scientists at Stanford turned their attention to a different component to significantly increase performance processors.

What is the performance of processors? 


A team of specialists creates unique structures of copper and graphene coating. It can carry information without increasing the size or heated processor.

Currently, this is the biggest problem of the so-called "Interconnect" connections in chips. Adding graphene to copper molecules addresses this issue and allows reducing the size.

The researchers found that the creation of cladding of copper significantly increases productivity compared to traditional solutions that use cobalt.

A layer of graphene has a thickness of 0.3 mm which does not only ensure ultra-thin size but also reduces energy consumption. This method of learning has the potential to accelerate the advent of the first 5-nanometer processors in the industry.


Their technology is another proof for various applications and unique properties of this material.

Review Medion P7648 test - New ALDI notebook with high performance

Image
The Medion P7648 notebook will be launched in the ALDI Nord stores on 8th December for 899 euros. Compared to the competition, Medion is again able to achieve the best price/performance ratio of its class with its 17-inch model.  In the test, we look at the notebook with Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M graphics card more accurate. And once again, we ask ourselves the question: Is the way to the grocer next week Thursday?

Review Teufel Boomster XL in test: Born to tremble!

Image
The Europe loudspeaker manufacturer Teufel offers the Boomster an XL version aside. And we have never seen such a Bluetooth speaker. The thing is as big as two soccer balls - and also sounds the entire sports field. In the test of the Teufel Boomster XL, however, we pay attention not only to the loud but also to the quiet sounds. At the barbecue evening, on the terrace, at the festival, as an icebreaker in the subway or as an alarm system:
