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 ...

Even for someone who pays a lot of attention to them, processor model numbers can be hard to parse. Ideally, each model number would communicate information about the chip’s underlying technology and ...

In today's market, the CPU landscape is predominantly defined by two major camps: Intel and AMD. With its significant market share, Intel holds the mantle as the leader in the CPU industry. However, ...

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 ...

A render diagram of a new AMD Ryzen CPU has purportedly leaked online, showing a radically different CPU structure to the company's current CPUs. The diagram reportedly shows one of AMD's new Strix ...

Have you ever wondered what those confusing letters and numbers at the end of the CPU mean? Every year, Intel and AMD release new generations of their CPUs with updated specifications and sometimes ...

Optimizing any system is a multi-layered problem, but when it involves a processor there are at least three levels to consider. Architects must be capable of thinking across these boundaries because ...

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 ...

I guess this is a real thing? https://www.neowin.net/news/intel-w...sed-64-bit-only-cpu-architecture-called-x86s/ I guess so... here's the white paper on Intel's site ...

Recap: Intel introduced its first x86 processor architecture in 1978 with the 8086 microprocessor. A few years later, the company made history again with the 80286 – a CPU so successful that it ...

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 ...
