https://www.electronics-lab.com/73113-2/
Axiomtek, a Taiwan based company has introduced new Pico-ITX form factor SBCs using Intel’s Apollo Lake processor. This line of SBCs from Axiomtek started with PICO312 with minimal coastline ports, and then followed with a COM-like PICO313. Recently they launched a similar 100 x 72mm PICO316 SBC with more versatile ports than the original PICO312. This PICO316 SBC […]
HiFive Unleashed – The First RISC-V-based Linux development board
https://www.electronics-lab.com/hifive-unleashed-first-risc-v-based-linux-development-board/
RISC-V is an open specification of an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). That is, it describes the way in which software talks to an underlying processor – just like the x86 ISA for Intel/AMD processors and the ARM ISA for ARM processors. Unlike those, however, the RISC-V ISA is open so that anyone can build a […]

The ezPixel is an Upcoming FPGA based WS2812B Controller Board
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ezpixel-upcoming-fpga-based-ws2812b-controller-board/
FPGAs are field programmable gate arrays which basically means they are reconfigurable hardware chips. FPGAs have found applications in different industries and engineering fields from the defence, telecommunications to automotive and several others but little application in the maker’s world. Mostly, as a result of being largely difficult and high cost as compared to the likes […]

Intel Introduces Loihi – A Self Learning Processor That Mimics Brain Functions
https://www.electronics-lab.com/intel-introduces-loihi-self-learning-chip-mimics-brain-functions/
Intel has developed a first-of-its-kind self-learning neuromorphic chip – codenamed Loihi. It mimics the animal brain functions by learning to operate based on various modes of feedback from the environment. Unlike convolutional neural network (CNN) and other deep learning processors, Intel’s Loihi uses an asynchronous spiking model to mimic neuron and synapse behavior in a much […]
Overclocked Intel CPU draws 1kW
https://www.electronics-lab.com/overclocked-intel-cpu-draws-1kw/
by Thomas Scherer @ elektormagazine.com The impressively powerful i9-7980XE CPU from Intel boasts not just 18 cores and 36 threads but also an unlocked clock multiplier. The spec was clearly an open invitation to Roman Hartung who has something of a reputation when it comes to overclocking processors. In tests he was able to crank […]
Inside Intel’s first product: the 3101 RAM chip held just 64 bits
https://www.electronics-lab.com/inside-intels-first-product-3101-ram-chip-held-just-64-bits/
Ken Shirriff takes a look inside the 3110 RAM chip from Intel. He writes: Intel’s first product was not a processor, but a memory chip: the 31011 RAM chip, released in April 1969. This chip held just 64 bits of data (equivalent to 8 letters or 16 digits) and had the steep price tag of […]
Intel Optane, Intel’s Next-Generation SSD Technology
https://www.electronics-lab.com/intel-optane-intels-next-generation-ssd-technology/
In July 2015, Intel and Micron Technology announced a new technology for memory and storage solutions called “3D XPoint™ technology“. It is a new category of nonvolatile memory that addresses the need for high-performance, high-endurance, and high-capacity memory and storage. Now Intel had produced its Optane™ technology that provides an unparalleled combination of high throughput, low latency, high quality of service, […]
