The first transistors were point contact devices, not far from the cats-whiskers of early radio receivers. They were fragile and expensive, and their performance was not very high. The transistor ...
TL;DR: AMD's RDNA 4-based Navi 48 GPU, featured in the Radeon RX 9070 XT, boasts 53.9 billion transistors, surpassing NVIDIA's GB203 GPU in the GeForce RTX 5080. The Navi 48 is reportedly 350mm², ...
AF114 germanium transistors and related ones like the AF115 through AF117 were quite popular during the 1960s, but they quickly developed a reputation for failure. This is due to what should have made ...
Bioengineers at Stanford University have created the first biological transistor made from genetic materials: DNA and RNA. Dubbed the "transcriptor," this biological transistor is the final component ...
