32 Bits That Changed Microprocessor Design

Cars That Think

We were trying to design something that could carry both voice and computation into the future. AT&T Archives and History Center At the time, CMOS technology was seen as a promisingbut riskyalternative to the NMOS and PMOS designs then in use. PMOS chips, which depend on the movement of positively-charged holes, were too slow.
