Carbon nanotubes outruns Silicon in computing technology by compacting processor and RAM

Carbon is gaining the attention of computer technology manufacturers. Introducing carbon nanotubes for computer technology. That will not only increase the processing capabilities but also will step further in making things more compact. Another era of current technology is to make the things so much compact that a maximum number of components gets on the same boat.

7 nm chip roadmap from GlobalFoundries

The present trend in computing is on making the PCB more and more tinier by miniaturizing all the elements to a maximum level. We have an example of the AMD Fiji and Vega GPUs that bet on the use of HBM memory to achieve greater integration. Scientists now want to go one step further with carbon nanotubes uses in this computing technology.

Carbon nanotubes allow joining the CPU and the RAM in a single chip

Carbon nanotubes enable you to accede the CPU and RAM on the same chip. Well known AMD has been able to manufacture compelling graphics cards with a tiny size. We are talking about the solutions based on the GPUs from Fiji and Vega that use the new memory HBM that has a place next to the slot of GPU. That reduces the amount of Space required on the PCB as compared in the case of conventional GDDR memories.

DynamIQ Artificial Intelligence Chip From ARM

The scientists at Stanford and MIT are investigating to make CPU and RAM integration on the same chip. Researchers have promoted a prototype that uses the carbon nanotubes with a layer of resistive RAM (RRAM) on top.

The creative team ensures that it is the most complex nano-electric system ever built with the latest nanotechnology techniques. The key has been in the use of carbon instead of using silicon. That is why because it can withstand higher temperatures.

Carbon Vs Silicon in Computing

It is certainly a significant step towards achieving the greater combination of components. That would allow the creation of systems much more compact than the current ones with a great capacity. It seems more clear that silicon has its days counted in computing technology.
