This is the second time in a year ZTE was caught selling to North Korea and Iran, notes Van Hollen, despite agreeing that a second infraction would be met with an effective death penalty — a ban from using US technology, including microprocessors that are critical in the manufacturer's products.

Grove's bet-the-company gamble — moving Intel from memory chips to microprocessors in the mid-1980s to serve what was still a fledgling PC industry — helped rescue Intel from a financial crisis and set it on course to becoming one of the most profitable and important technology companies of all time.

On April 16th America's Department of Commerce said that China's second-largest telecoms firm had trampled on a settlement reached in March 2017 over ZTE's illegal shipments since 2010 of American-made technology—telecommunications equipment to Iran, and routers, servers and microprocessors to North Korea—in known violation of trade sanctions.

It got increasingly popular and, as part of my retirement, when I went around and gave a lot of talks and so I collected a bunch of data, but basically there's, probably this year there'll be 270 billion microprocessors sold, and 99 percent of those will ... 99 percent are RISC, yeah.

Systems that marry microprocessors, sensors and software to make fully driverless cars possible are in the advanced stages of development, but experts say the leap from today's computer-assisted driving — features like Tesla's Enhanced Autopilot and Cadillac's Super Cruise — to fully automated motoring that may render humans optional remains considerable.

As for Spectre and Meltdown, Segars noted that the attacks have raised the awareness of how many microprocessors there are in the world today, though he also stressed that this attack exploits the features of high-performance chips — and only 5 percent of the chips that ARM's licensees have sold in the past are susceptible to the attack.

And last year, the United States blocked the sale of a number of advanced microprocessors to China over concerns they were being used in nuclear weapon development, which most likely accelerated the development of China's own technology, said Jack Dongarra, a University of Tennessee computer scientist who helped create the list of the world's fastest computers in 237.

It was created by two parents who wanted to minimize screen time for their kids — compare to Bluetooth speakers that need to be paired with a phone — and after a successful Kickstarter run with its first version, Yoto partnered with Pentagram, (the renowned design studio behind everything from Yahoo's redesign to microprocessors) for a second run.

This isn't so much a technology horserace story as it is a business story, and once you see how the business and tech parts fit together to create the "PC era" we all lived through, it'll be obvious why the company couldn't pull off a daring pivot into mobile the way it once pivoted from making memory chips to microprocessors.

While iPads and iPhones are getting larger, the Apple Watch and AirPods are pushing the limits of miniaturization — something that is key when we start thinking about future wearables, where companies will pack tremendous amounts of technology — sensors, microprocessors, batteries and more —into extremely small objects and manufacturing them at scale is an incredibly important skill set to develop for the future.

The Internet of Things — the area of technology where previously dumb objects are getting equipped with radio signals and microprocessors to be connected, monitored, controlled and supercharged through networks — is still in its early days, but one of the more interesting startups in the field is raising some significant money as it gears up to take a leading role in its future.

Shifting away from the Pi for the new kits by building its own low cost, 1.2GHz single board microprocessors was down to price, platform integration and flexibility, according to Klein, who notes that each device spins up its own web server in order that the user can connect to it over the same wi-fi network and send commands via the Kano Code web app.

The goals of Project Natick were twofold: to determine if ocean waters off the coast of California, at a depth of hundreds of metres, could be used in a heat-exchange system to draw off the thermal energy generated by the humming microprocessors in a submerged data centre; and to determine if wave energy could be captured to provide some of the power needed to crunch the massive quantities of data being handled by the underwater system.
