To counter the strain on global energy resources due to accelerating computational demands - yes, AI, we’re looking at you - research institute imec is suggesting a radical shift away from traditional computing methods.  Its solution, detaile in IEEE Spectrum engineering magazine, involves exploiting the fundamental properties of superconductors to greatly reduce energy consumption, thereby creating an innovative, superconducting processor. This promising technology has been in development for a couple of years so far and uses standard CMOS fabrication techniques which can potentially offer computing power that is a hundred times more energy-efficient than today's best chips, and which could “lead to a computer that fits a data-center’s worth of computing resources into a system the size of a shoebox.” 20 exaflops Imec’s research involved designing a new kind of processor from the ground up, with close collaboration between CMOS engineers and full-stack development teams.

Built in Japan, the Vaio SX12 laptop is a lightweight powerhouse driven by a choice of 13th generation Intel Core processors. But that's not all - it sports a 12.5-inch Full HD (1920x1080) screen and weighs (from) 899g, so it’s light and portable, and comes with a 53Whr battery which promises 10.5 hours of use when playing videos, and up to 29.5 hours when just idling. It is available in a choice of colors, including urban bronze, fine white, rose gold, fine black, fine red, and bright silver - and if those aren’t stylish enough for you, there’s also an all-black edition which lives up to its name by having a body that’s entirely black – including the logo on the top, the keys, and even the Windows wallpaper. That model also offers higher performance than the regular version. nanoSIM and eSIM Vaio SX12 is powered by (up to) an Intel Core i7-1360P processor, with up to 32GB LPDDR4X RAM (onboard, so can’t be expanded), and up to 2TB 4th generation high speed SSD.
