Scientists Unveils Chip that could make Desktop Computer 20 times Faster

Scientists have created an ultra-fast computer chip which is 20 times faster than current desktop computers. Modern PC’s have a processor with two, four or sometimes 16 cores to carry out tasks. But the central processing unit(CPU) developed by the researchers effectively had 1,000 cores on a single chip. The developments could

usher in a new age of high-speed computing in the next few years for home users frustrated with slow-running systems. Scientists used a chip called a Filed Programmable Gate Array(FPGA), which like all microchips contains millions of transistors – the tiny on-off switches that are the foundation of any electronic circuit.
