	Integrated circuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Digital memory chips are another family of integrated circuits that are crucially important in modern society.
		The integration of large numbers of tiny transistors onto a small chip was an enormous improvement to the manual assembly of finger-sized vacuum tubes.
		Computers, cellular phones, and other digital appliances are now inextricable parts of the structure of modern societies.

		An integrated circuit (IC) is a thin chip consisting of at least two interconnected semiconductor devices, mainly transistors, as well as passive components like resistors.
		The integrated circuit is one of the most important inventions of the 20th century.
		The integrated circuit was first conceived by a radar scientist, Geoffrey W.A. Dummer (born 1909), working for the Royal Radar Establishment of the British Ministry of Defence, and published in Washington DC on May 7, 1952.

	IBM Think Research \| Chip Technology
		The nerve center for a computer or pervasive computing device is its integrated circuit — "chip" for short.
		Chips perform requested calculations, manage the internal flow of data and handle the data inputs from, and outputs to, the user.
		For years, the chip industry has marched in lock step to Moore's Law, the projection that the number of transistors on integrated circuits would double every 18 months or so.

	Commodore computer history and repair information
		Computers were somewhat of an uncertain novelty item which many of the larger electronics and department stores were a little slow to embrace because of the uncertainty and lack of experience in dealing with such products.
		The fact that this amazing computer had more memory, a nicer keyboard, and was easier to interface with peripherals than most computers of that era made it so it was and still is (in many ways) an ideal computer for educators, hobbyists, game players, beginning programmers and musicians.
		The fact that users of the Commodore computers did not need to constantly reconfigure, re-install, and uninstall software or worry about viruses and system crashes (as is common with our more modern Windows computers) allowed users to spend the majority of their time actually using the computer rather than spending so much time fighting it.

	Computer chip building stages to begin
		Current computers have processors that operate at speeds of roughly 3 gigahertz, but the new chip will allow computers to pro-cess at speeds close to 10 gigahertz, delivering more than 1 trillion operations per second, researchers said.
		Stephen Keckler and Douglas Burger, both computer science assistant professors, said the chip is an innovation in microprocessor architecture and the beginning of the third generation of microprocessors.
		Whereas the computer industry usually has hundreds of people working on the development and building of a chip, only a small team of about 30 individuals from the Univer-sity and IBM are working on the TRIPS chip, said Jeff Burns, IBM team leader.

	Computer Chip Enables Paralyzed Man to Take Steps
		March 20, 2000 (Brussels, Belgium) -- An implanted computer chip has allowed a 39-year old financial consultant from France to take his first steps since a car crash left him paralyzed him from the waist down 10 years ago.
		Marc Merger is the first patient to undergo the implant procedure, which was developed by a consortium of European researchers to help people who have lost the use of their legs.
		A demonstration of him walking, scheduled to take place at EU headquarters, had to be postponed because a glitch caused the commands to not be communicated to the computer chip, meaning Merger could not walk.

	Re: How does a computer Chip Work?
		First off, I'm assuming that, by computer chip, you are referring to a microprocessor or microcomputer on a single integrated circuit - although some people have used the term "computer chip" to refer to integrated circuits in general.
		The information in a computer is stored and operated on (logical and mathematical operations) in digital form - that is, in the form of a set of 1's and 0's.
		However, different companies generally have different semiconductor processes (how the computer chips are made), so there might be slight differences in the parts that have tried to be the same.
