Do you know the smallest pc? There are many roles of pcs, students learn pc-related professionals can be used, office workers sort out documents and design, etc., but far more than that, almost all walks of life can be applied to pcs, small to a meal, large to aircraft high-speed rail, the use of pcs is widely visible, so the pc has become an indispensable product in our daily life, the size of the pc has begun to gradually miniaturize with the development, micro small host has obvious advantages, usually can be because of the need to choose to carry, Even if it is placed at home or on the company workstation, it will not occupy a place, beautiful and atmospheric, performance can meet our needs, power consumption is still relatively low, and there is no electricity for a month. All in all, it is the new trend of pcs in the new era. Business are also constantly innovation to create the smallest pc.
A pc runs through the history of the evolution of modern science and technology, and also witnesses the competition in the pocket pc market, and records the wonderful pictures of the showmanship performances of major technology giants.
According to the volume division, the first generation of pcs, engineering machines represented by giant machines, open the home page of modern science and technology history; The second generation of pcs, mass production machines represented by desktop pcs, started the popularization of modern science and technology; The third generation of pcs, mobile machines represented by notebooks, highlight the convenience of modern science and technology; The fourth generation of pcs, the super mobile Internet terminal represented by the optical pc, plays the efficiency of modern science and technology, from the first generation to the fourth generation, the pc is getting smaller and smaller, and the functions are becoming more and more powerful.
We took stock of the “smallest pc” of multinational giants, startups, universities and other representative companies such as “University of Michigan, IBM, Intel, OQO, Apple, Zhihui Youchu, Fujitsu, lenovo”:

The world’s smallest pc is available
As an indispensable part of the development of the technological era, pcs play a very important role in all aspects of our lives, so how small is the world’s smallest pc? What role can the world’s smallest pc do? Let’s take a closer look at the relevant knowledge.
According to foreign media reports, IBM launched the world’s smallest pc at the IBM Think 2018 conference held on March 19. The smallest pc from IBM is said to be smaller than a grain of salt. In terms of pc power, this pc has the computing power of a 1990 x86 chip. Without the help of a microscope, the pc is difficult to identify with the naked eye. This IBM-issued ultra-small pc can only be seen clearly under a microscope or magnifying glass. Its size is 1 mm x 1 mm, which is about the size of the salt grains we usually eat. At first glance, many people think it’s a super small chip. In fact, it’s a pc, but it’s too small in shape, so it’s easy to misunderstand.
Although it is the smallest pc, it is very powerful. Its small fuselage contains hundreds of thousands of transistors and is equipped with SRAM chips and photo detectors that can track the shipment of goods in a timely manner.
Although the size is extremely small, it does not affect its computing power as a pc. In addition, in terms of cost, IBM revealed that the manufacturing cost of this pc is less than 10 cents, and “hundreds of thousands of transistors” will be installed in it in the future, which will enable the pc to monitor, analyze, communicate and even perform big data calculations. In addition, it will be able to perform some basic AI tasks, such as screening and classifying data.
It should be pointed out that the Department of Pc Science at the University of Michigan has previously shown the world’s smallest pc “Michigan Micro Mote” developed by itself, which is only 1 cubic millimeter in size.
What is the role of the smallest pc
It can monitor, analyze, communicate and even do more about data, and can perform some basic AI tasks, such as classifying data. What role can the world’s smallest pc do?
The founders believe that the main function of this pc is to regulate the unreasonable behavior of goods in the transportation process and track the transportation of goods. In supply chain management and blockchain, it can be used as a data source for blockchain applications to prevent theft and deception, track goods deliveries, and perform basic AI operations. It can also perform some basic AI tasks, such as data classification.
IBM personnel revealed that in the future, from healthcare to logistics, and even every aspect of life, the smallest pc will completely change people’s lives, and this highly integrated embedded product will appear more in our lives.
In fact, this smallest pc will be used for blockchain technology as a data source for blockchain applications, tracking the shipment of goods, preventing theft and deception. The future of the commodity is accompanied by this almost invisible small pc, from production to circulation to consumption of every link can be mastered, to achieve the most practical application scenario of the blockchain – so that the fake goods are nowhere to hide.
It is revealed that the pc can be charged by high-frequency flashes and uses the traditional radio spectrum to send data to the central pc, solving the problem of the large size of the traditional pc. It’s small, but it’s full of features like taking pictures, reading temperatures, and recording pressure readings. Developers expressed the hope that it can be applied in various fields such as medical and industrial. For example, implanted in the patient to obtain body temperature, electrocardiogram and other data, or monitor the status of the oil well.
When is the smallest pc popular
It is reported that this is not the first time IBM has tried to build the smallest pc. According to the British “Daily Mail”, in 2017, the company partnered with Samsung to build one of the world’s smallest pcs, a chip, which can extend the battery life of mobile phones by 2 times.
Arvind Krishna, head of BM’s research division, revealed: “In the next five years, ultrapc pcs the size of ink dots or smaller than a grain of salt will be widely embedded in our everyday objects and devices. ”
If Krishner’s point is correct, we will see more smallest pc and micro-systems in our daily lives in the future.
