A processor "flexible"

Technology increasingly surprising in a world of constant progress and innovation, this time is the turn of IMEC researchers have presented a flexible processor made with organic semiconductors. It is a microprocessor developed from plastic substrate and pentacene, an organic semiconductor, circuit also has gold, as expected.

While the new device still does not reach anywhere near the performance of current processors, this is a really striking breakthrough, this could be the solution for flexible devices taking into account the existing flexible displays. This chip achieves a performance of six instructions per second with a logical system of 8 bits, resulting from its 4000 transistors, yet it is still surprising and can be used in devices with low computing load.
