Abstract

Knowledge of the technology, characteristics, and market trends of the latest CPUs used in smartphones, computers, and supercomputers and the research trends of leading US university experts gives an edge to policy-makers, business executives, large investors, etc. To this end, we describe three topics in detail at a level that can help educate the non-majors to the extent possible. Topic 1 comprises the design and manufacture of a CPU and the technology and trends of the smartphone SoC. Topic 2 comprises the technology and trends of the x86 CPU and supercomputer, and Topic 3 involves an optical network chip that has the potential to emerge as a major semiconductor chip. We also describe three techniques and experiments that can be used to implement the optical network chip.
