Even though Intel has already proven it is possible, the FinFET technology its perfected is years away for competitors who detailed the hurtles they face at the International Symposium on Physical Systems: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog
Further ReadingMulti-gate 3-D FinFETs will be an essential element in achieving the 14 nanometer process technology node, according to IBM research scientist James Warnock.
Cognitive computers—cognizers—aim to instill human-like intelligence into our smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices using microchips that emulate the human brain. Dubbed the “Future of Computing” by the NYTimes, one of the “Best Innovation Moments of 2011” by the Washington Post and one of “10 World Changing Ideas” in a Scientific American cover story “A Computer Chip that Thinks” this book reveals how neuroscience and computer science are merging in a new era of intelligent machines light-years beyond Apple's Siri, IBM's Watson.
