STMicroelectronics has announced that it is now sampling the ST22FJ1M, an advanced 32-bit smart card processor with 1Mbyte of embedded Flash memory, to key customers. The exceptionally high memory ...

New 8-bit microcontrollers continue to reach upward in features and performance—reaching 100 MIPS—and 32-bit processors keep pushing downward in performance and cost (see sidebar “Squeezing the 16-bit ...

A team of engineers at Fudan University has successfully designed, built and run a 32-bit RISC-V microprocessor that uses molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon as its semiconductor component. Their ...

Wearable electronics, like watches and fitness trackers, represent the next logical step in computing. They’ve sparked an interest in the development of flexible electronics, which could expand the ...

At some point during a software installation, a small prompt appears asking you to choose between a 32-bit and a 64-bit version. You probably either guess, panic-Google, or pick the bigger number and ...

Will Strauss, president of Forward Concepts, said Freescale's move is part of a larger trend among microcontroller and DSP vendors to protect investments in software development by offering compatible ...

Why it matters: As you can probably attest, modern wearables can be slapped on a wrist or slotted in an ear without a problem. But they're not subtle enough, neither in their design or cost, to be ...

Windows 10 can run on both 32-bit and 64-bit processor architectures. If you have a computer with a 32-bit setup, you can upgrade to the 64-bit version without acquiring a new license. The only caveat ...
