By contrast, integrated circuits packed a large number — often millions — of tiny electrical components, mainly transistors, into a small chip around the size of a coin.

By the mid-1980s, most of the common previously external system components had been integrated into the same chip as the processor and this modern form of the microcontroller allowed an even more widespread use, which by the end of the decade were the norm rather than the exception for almost all electronics devices.

By the mid-1990s, some x86 CPUs had achieved performance on a parity with RISC in some areas, such as integer performance ( albeit at the cost of greater chip complexity ), relegating the latter to even more high-end markets for the most part.

By the integration of all essential sub-systems on a single chip, and the use of low-power logic, each Compute or I / O node dissipated low power ( about 17 watts, including DRAMs ).

" By 2010, almost 20 years later, the estimated wealth of the Al-Sabah family is unknown, but many observers predict that it has tripled, or even quadrupled over the years, as the Al-Sabah's have the largest shares in almost all the blue chip corporations in the Western world, with tens of billions of dollars invested in companies from Citibank to Daimler AG to Merrill Lynch.

By 2008, 70 % of the cards issued had that chip.

By the early 1990s, the PC chip-industry had advanced to the point where RAMDACs were integrated into the display controller chip, thus reducing the number of discrete chips and the cost of video cards.

By reloading the VIC-II's control registers via machine code hooked into the raster interrupt routine ( the scanline interrupt ), one could program the chip to generate significantly more than 8 concurrent sprites ( a process known as sprite multiplexing ), and generally give every program-defined slice of the screen different scrolling, resolution and color properties.

By this method, very high iterations can be used, with little processor overhead, the only cost being that of the memory for the lookup table, such that LDPC decoding is possible even on a 4 MHz PIC chip.

By this time, the PowerPC 970 chip had been released and was being used in the Power Mac G5 line.

" By using one or more VSA-100 chips on a board, the various market segments for graphics cards are satisfied with just a single graphics chip design.

By combining several integrated circuits, memory can be arranged into a larger word length and / or address space than what is offered by each chip, often but not necessarily a power of two.

By 1986 most large chip vendors followed, working on efforts like the Motorola 88000, Fairchild Clipper, AMD 29000 and the PowerPC.

By entering the coding or chip into the glucose meter, the meter will be calibrated to that batch of test strips.

By 1965, most Australian takeaway restaurants and fish and chip shops carried Chiko Rolls, with the marketing slogan ' Grab a Chiko ' signifying the ease with which shop owners could take a Chiko Roll from the freezer and pop it into a fryer and slide it into its own trade mark bag.

By licensing a design multiple times, an IP core licensor spreads the cost of development among multiple chip makers.

By 1993, the FCC requires that all newly manufactured televisions have the decoding chip.

By pressing a button on the floor pedal, the device begins recording a rhythm ( 8 seconds of memory comes standard, but an upgraded 32 second memory chip is a common upgrade ).
