Investing.com -- Intel's microprocessor market share has fallen to its lowest level since 2002, according to Citi analysts, who cited new data from Mercury Research on 4Q24 microprocessor shipments.

The story of the first microprocessor, one you may have heard, goes something like this: The Intel 4004 was introduced in late 1971, for use in a calculator. It was a combination of four chips, and it ...

The integrated chip greatly improved the use for transistors, but it could only do what it was originally programmed to do. It couldn't change programs, and it certainly couldn't remember anything.

Christopher Intagliata: Microchips are everywhere: they’re in our computers and smartphones, of course, but also TVs, thermostats, fridges, washing machines, cars. That ever growing constellation of ...

More than half of the human genome is made of transposable elements whose ongoing mobilization is a driving force in genetic diversity; however, little is known about how the host regulates their ...

miRNAs are ~22-nt RNAs that play a major part in the regulation of gene expression in most eukaryotic species. In humans, miRNAs are thought to post-transcriptionally repress at least 60% of mRNAs by ...
