Today Nature journal publishes Pragmatic Semiconductor’s latest research article, a Bendable Non-silicon RISC-V Microprocessor, demonstrating the world’s first 32-bit microprocessor in a flexible technology that is fully functional while flexed. It’s also the first flexible microprocessor with embedded ML capabilities. The article documents research undertaken in collaboration with Qamcom, specialists in hardware, software and system […]
Me: That’s cool, but why would you need that? What are the benefits of this?
Some dude who gets paid a few orders of magnitude more than me: “This is an exciting step forward in flexible semiconductor technology. Enabling an open-standard, non-silicon 32-bit microprocessor will democratise access to computing, unlocking emerging applications while opening the door to sub-dollar compute.“
I could use it to control embed string lights in my sweater.
