ARM announced at the IEEE SOI Conference, Foster City, Calif., the results from a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) 45nm test chip that demonstrate potential power savings of up to 40 percent over traditional bulk process for manufacturing chips. The test chip was based on an ARM 1176 processor and enables a direct comparison between SOI and bulk microprocessor implementations. The results confirm SOI technology is a viable alternative to traditional bulk process technology when designing low-power processors for high-performance consumer devices and mobile applications. http://www.physorg.com/news174221285.html Technology Thu, 08 Oct 2009 12:50:01 EST news174221285 A US technology company which won a patent case against software giant Microsoft filed suit on Tuesday against nearly two dozen other high-profile firms accusing them of violating the same patent. http://www.physorg.com/news174069684.html Technology Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:41:58 EST news174069684 (PhysOrg.com) -- A European research project that incubates self-managing internet applications is paying off.
