HP researchers make new computer chip design, 8 times the transistors

Hewlett-Packard researchers have designed a faster, more energy-efficient chip by packing in more transistors–without shrinking them. Instead of using aluminum wiring that take up a lot of space beside transistors, they used crossbar nanowire mesh that goes on top to connect the transistors. HP’s design has the potential to be easily integrated into a chip-making …
