ISSCC: Organic Processor Demonstrated
Compared to Intel's and AMD's processing monsters, this 8-bit is nothing spectacular as far as pure performance is concerned. However, the organic chip includes three programmable registers and can run basic operations such as additions, subtractions, counters and shifters. There is a separate "instruction foil", which holds the hardcoded program the chip runs.
According to heise.de, the processor has 3381 organic transistors, which surpasses Intel's 4-bit 4004 processor, which as released in 1971 and considered to be the first complete CPU on a single chip. The 4004 had about 2300 transistors. Its successor, the 8-bit 8008 had about 3500 transistors. Imec said that its processor runs at 6 MHz (The 4004 ran at 0.74 MHz) at 10 Volts. It consumes about 92 μW.
There was no information when such a processor could become commercially available.

I'm only running 1.16-1.2v on my i7-920...
PS, the THW login system SUCKS!!!!!!! please fix it so it can save the bloody password.
Have to do this:
Will it run Crysis?
Imagine the socket!?
You do understand that there is only 9.2 micro amps of current in the system right? There's at least an amp of current in your i7.. So you're using at least 10^5 more energy
0.000092 watts to run this processor
Ya, that's why this is important...
Usually with alot of products, we have to start at square one to get back to today's levels. it's an organic processor and it hasn't been perfected, that's why phones have the capacity of computers 10-20 years ago
Are you sure? Many new smartphones are running single core 1+ghz chips right now...some even dual core.
Do a Google search when AMD and Intel were racing to 1ghz in the desktop market CPU space....10-11 years ago or so.
WHAT? You mean you have to look at volts AND amps? /sarcasm
Your processor run 1.2V but it used 100W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+, this one use only 92 μW. use your math and calculate . Maybe you go back and learn about current. The way you say= Asia has better electricity , don't you? Asia use 220 V, US and Canada use 110 V. V is nothing compare to Watt
the password thing works fine for me...both ie8 and google chrome and on multiple pc's.....Maybe fix your PC!
Wow... It takes 15% of the power. Very impressive unless I got a 0 wrong in there somewhere. And considering this tech will supposedly get more efficient as they refine it then it will be really amazing.
This could be great for low productivity devices that need super long battery life, but last I checked organic processing is much slower in reaction time than traditional processing, so I cant imagine it working very fast unless it is massively parallel.
15% ? This thing only runs at 6MHz, your i7 probably runs at 3600 MHz (at a guess) so you missed out on a 600x power factor. This thing is actually around 60x less energy efficient than that i7. Assuming you didn't get a 0 wrong in there....
I was commenting on the fact that it's about 9 times more voltage than the current processors. 1/4 of that voltage would probably toast an i7. Whether or not it uses more power wasn't the point of my comment.
Tried it on chrome, opera, firefox on PC; Opera, firefox, and safari on mac. Same thing... nothing is wrong with my PC, THW's flashy login system doesn't bode well with the "save password" feature on any platform and browser I've tried it on.
he was only comparing transistors. he could've done the same calculation for clock speed. Besides that, clock speed doesn't always mean everything.
