Microsoft s Quantum Search for The next Transistor Microsoft is making a significant investment in creating a practical version of the basic component needed to build a quantum computer,
In an interview, he told MIT Technology Review that Microsoft had kept previously its quantum effort relatively quiet
Microsoft has dedicated a quantum computing research lab, known as Station Q, on the campus of University of California,
Microsoft is not currently attempting to build a quantum computer. Rather, its research effort is aimed at developing a reliable version of the qubit, the key building block of a quantum computer.
Microsoft research focuses on a type of qubit known as a topological qubit that theory suggests would encode data in a much more robust way.
around four years ago, Microsoft researchers led work to pose a series of key tests that could show
Microsoft funded several labs around the world to work on those questions, says Lee. wo years ago the results started to come in positive.
Microsoft has developed specialized tools for quantum experiments and given them to the academic community. Those tools range from cloud simulation platforms for theoretical work to new types of electronics for use in the super-cooled temperatures of quantum hardware experiments.
Microsoft is already looking ahead to explore what could be done with a system of topological qubits once they are built. upposing that one day we have a quantum machine:

#Microsoft tries to thwart Google by investing in Cyanogen Windows phone still hasn set the world on fire,
so it seems Microsoft is investigating other ways to compete against Google and Apple in the mobile market.
Reports are coming in that Microsoft will participate in a round of funding for Cyanogen, Inc. the commercial enterprise that formed out of the Cyanogenmod community.
This will only give Microsoft a minority stake in the company, but this could hint at large changes for one of the largest tech companies in the world.
a few nuggets of information have come to light regarding Microsoft decision to help fund this fork of Android.
but sources claim that Microsoft will be a inority investorin Cyanogen latest round of funding (estimated at $70 million).
At the very least, this is Microsoft hedging its bets. On the other hand, maybe there more to this story.
Microsoft might just be laying the groundwork for a future without Windows phone. Cyanogen Earlier this week, Microsoft released the first stable version of Office on Android.
Similarly, the brand new mobile version of Outlook debuted on ios. Microsoft is well aware
of which way the wind is blowing, and it seems increasingly focused on delivering top-tier support to competing platforms.
If Microsoft can get a piece of that massive pie, all the better for its shareholders. With free access to Office and free upgrades to Windows 10, Microsoft is bowing to market realities.
Google docs and OS X make it increasingly difficult for Microsoft to sell its products outright. Instead money has to come from subscriptions services and support contracts.
None of that is inherently bad, but clearly the Microsoft of 2015 shows little resemblance to the Microsoft of ten or twenty years ago.

Compared to Intel, it 1. 7 times faster. In real-world file copy tests, the Asmedia USB 3. 1 controller completes the work in 75%of the time it takes the Intel integrated USB 3. 0 controller and half the time of the VIA solution.
Intel has demonstrated solutions capable of up to 800mb/s in RAID connected via USB 3. 1;
Anandtech early hardware hit 650-700mb/s in analogous testing. Generally speaking, Intel controllers tend to outperform third party controllers for a given standard,
but they also tend to ship later and it not clear when Intel will add USB 3. 1. Looking back to USB 3. 0,
Intel was remarkably late to add direct chipset support for the new standard it took the company three years to deploy its own USB 3. 0 solution after the first motherboards shipped with third-party controllers in 2009.
At the time, it was believed widely that Intel dragged its feet on USB 3. 0 hoping to replace it with Thunderbolt as the mainstream peripheral interconnect on most devices
but that never materialized. Intel has yet to announce when it might add USB 3. 1 support
and AMD hasn announced it either, but I expect a similar third-party support situation to evolve.
Intel makes extensive use of dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, ARM has big. Little, and multiple companies are researching topics like near threshold voltage (NTV) scaling as well as variable precision for CPU and GPU operations.
