Magnetic Microprocessors Can Make High-End Computers in Future Posted: 08 Jul 2011 01:55 AM PDT We have already discussed different concepts of high-efficiency computers like Brain-like Computers, which is soon to become a reality. Two researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, Jeffrey Bokor and Brian Lambson are developing a new concept called “Magnetic Microprocessors”. According to them, this new concept would be so efficient that the energy consumed by them will be very less as described by the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Though the multi-processors used today are known to be efficient, the fact is that the energy consumed by them is fairly high when compared to its speed and multi-tasking capability. As the name implies, the magnetic microprocessor will work on the principle of magnetic properties, and without the use of electrons. The microprocessors used now work on the principle of electricity, which means that they produce the energy required, by the movement of electrons. This movement of electrons generate heat and thus reduces the efficiency of the system. Since, magnetic microprocessors work without electrons, the researcher's claim that the device would be a million times more efficient than the conventional processors used today. In this device, the digital memory (combination of 0′s and 1′s) is represented with the help of nano-magnet polarities. The...
