Support for China’s local software and hardware ecosystem also appears to be a selling point ...

Discussions about CPUs often frame one instruction set architecture (ISA) against another—x86 vs. Arm, Arm vs. RISC-V, and so on. However, it’s common to use multiple CPU architectures in a single ...

The RISC-V CPU architecture currently accounts for under 1% of the world’s processor market, but that is going to change rapidly over the next years as its parallel processing is perfectly suited to ...

The proposed x86S CPU architecture from Intel would ditch support for 32-bit apps and operating systems entirely in favor of 64-bit software, but it could support older apps with virtualization. Right ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. Intel's truly next-gen Nova Lake CPUs will be made on TSMC's new 2nm process node, joining Apple as its first customers on TSMC's queue for its latest fab ...

As agentic AI systems scale across cloud and datacenter environments, CPUs remain the control plane coordinating performance ...

Nothing ever made is truly perfect and indeed, CPU architectures like x86, RISC-V, ARM, and PowerPC all have their own upsides and downsides. Today, I aim to make an architecture that learns from all ...

Fire up the 2013 remix of the Eagles "Desperado". Listen to the beat: That's 60 beats per minute, or to an engineer, 1 Hertz (Hz). Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" is around twice that. It sounds fast, but ...
