PCMOS chips help users charge mobile phones by month

Researchers at Rice University in Houston, USA, developed a new type of circuit that promises to increase processing speed by 7 times but power consumption is 30 times less than the best technology today.

The project is supported by Intel Corporation and the Agency for Management of Advanced Defense Research Projects. Scientists say the results could give processors for mobile phones that allow users to recharge batteries not a few days but a month.

The new processor uses conventional CMOS technology, but uses a new algorithm studied by Professor Krishna Palem and Dr. Lakshmi Chakrapani of Rice University.

Rice University researchers believe that PCMOS technology will help charge handheld devices by month.

Called PCMOS, the new chip is still made of silicon so it can also be manufactured using existing chip making equipment. Professor Palem affirmed that using the results of logical probability will consume less than 30 times more energy and increase processing speed by 7 times.

'For consumers, it makes sense that mobile phone charging time is not calculated by day but by month. Globally, this will contribute to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of the IT industry , 'Palem hopes that PCMOS technology will be introduced into the computer market within four years.
