The world's first fully functional 32-bit bendy CPU can run while wrapped around a straw, but boy is it slow

While bendy, flexible screens have been demonstrated for a while now (with a fair few drawbacks, I might add), most of the components inside our devices have so far remained stiff as a board. This RISC-V processor, however, bucks that trend by being as bendy as a professional gymnast at a yoga class, even while it's running.

Pragmatic Semiconductor has published a blog announcing the hyper-flexible chip, which it says is the "world's first 32-bit microprocessor in a flexible technology that...
