Non-volatile CPU
October 4th, 2007
Rhom Co. Ltd was displaying an 8-bit non-volatile CPU. Non-volatile means that the processor keeps its current state even if there’s no electricity. This is very cool for two reasons. The first is that a computer could resume operations immediately after a power-outage. The second is much cooler: the computer could be shut down when not needed and instantly turned back on. Talk about energy savings!
