Chipset architecture used to be split into two main chips: the Northbridge for fast stuff like the CPU and RAM, and the ...

Intel is launching a new entry-level CPU, but there's nothing new about what's under the IHS. The Core i5 110 might sound like a modern-ish CPU, perhaps from the Meteor Lake generation of hardware, ...

RISC-V is an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that rapidly transforms the CPU design and development landscape. Unlike proprietary ISAs, RISC-V allows free access to architecture ...

As I’m sure many of you know, x86 architecture has been around for quite some time. It has its roots in Intel’s early 8086 processor, the first in the family. Indeed, even the original 8086 inherits a ...

The release of next-gen gaming CPUs is inherently tied to the development of new breakthroughs in CPU manufacturing and design. One such step towards a future Intel CPU design has seemingly been ...

Because ARM licenses its designs, multiple companies can integrate ARM technology into a single system-on-a-chip, or SoC. A modern smartphone SoC combines CPUs, graphics processors, AI accelerators, ...

Some workloads are a single tangled-up thread with various data types and crunchy compute; for these, our modern CPU cores are perfectly-suited. Other workloads (like, say, graphics) are giant piles ...
