The reason they have that name is that magnetic core memory was the primary storage for computers back in the old days and many of us still refer to a computer’s main memory as “core.” ...

Core memory, magnetized memory using tiny magnetic rings suspended on a grid of wires, is now more than five decades obsolete, yet it exerts a fascination for hardware hackers still. Not least ...

Magnetic storage makes use of a magnetisable coating. Magnetised dots are made on the surface of the material. These dots are created, read and erased by very small electromagnets. Examples ...

Magnetic cores are doughnut-shaped magnetic materials that are used with inductors, transformers, and electromagnets. They are also used as computer memory elements. Magnetic cores are made of metal ...

A medium for holding information (data, voice, video, etc.), such as tape and disk. The medium can be erased and reused over and over again. In the digital world, information is recorded by ...

Core storage lasted for about two decades, before dynamic RAM (DRAM) chips replaced it, but it is the reason memory was called "memory." The magnetic cores held their content without power (see ...

The HP Omnibook Ultra Flip 14 and Acer Swift X 14 have Intel Core 7 processors but are from different generations. (The ...

When it was introduced during the white plastic heyday of peak iPod-era Apple, the Mac mini was pitched as the cheapest way ...

merger remnants are thought to have the requisite internal magnetic-field strengths to result in magnetars. The preferential occurrence of FRBs in massive star-forming galaxies suggests that a ...

Apple's updated-for-2024 desktops, packing new chips, are very different animals. Which one makes sense for how you compute?
