Aisin develops chip that uses about 98% less power
Japanese automotive parts supplier Aisin has developed a new semiconductor with Tohoku University.
The chip uses magnetic technology called MRAM, which stands for magnetic RAM.
Aisin says it uses about 98% less power than similar existing chips.
The company expects the chip to help process large amounts of data more efficiently.
Lower power use could make data processing more energy-efficient.
The announcement did not specify when the chip will be used.
