PCMOS Probability Math Processor

Rice University has already begun testing on a real-world example of a processor founded on probability math, and this processor is known as the PCMOS (probability-based complementary metal-oxide semiconductor). The chip takes the road less traveled, abandoning the either/or Boolean logic of all current processors by calculating the most likely answer in most cases. Since it avoids furnishing an exact answer when unnecessary, the processor will use up just a bit of power compared to today’s processors when performing similar tasks. In addition, you won’t have to wait longer for your answers since results are accomplished approximately 7 times faster and is better suited for math where imprecision is unnoticeable or even encouraged, and these areas include small image rendering or data encryption. Real-world production is tipped to happen within four years’ time.
