Cover Story
- Measured response: Can benchmarks usefully compare energy efficiency?
Tools and benchmarks are beginning to appear that try to tackle how to compare power and energy efficiency between processors.
Design Features
- Interleaved forward converters transform voltage-regulation models
Interleaved forward converters lower capacitor ripple currents, cut component cost and size, and increase reliability in low-voltage, high-current-output voltage-regulation models. - Hitting their stride: Nonvolatile-memory upstarts draw near to established leaders
One next-generation technology is finally on a leading-edge process, another is nearing production after years of development, and a third has its first high-volume customer. The nonvolatile-memory race has, for the first time in a long time, become competitive again. - You be the judge
