Despite all the big under-the-hood changes, the basic hierarchy here remains the same as in past generations. The Pro tier offers the biggest bump to CPU performance compared to the basic M5, along ...

Leading AI systems designs are migrating away from building the fastest AI processor possible, adopting a more balanced approach that involves highly specialized, heterogeneous compute elements, ...

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 ...

AMD and Intel have taken very different approaches to increasing the core counts of their processors. In the case of Team Red and its Ryzen CPUs, it went down a chiplet route, putting a block of cores ...

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 ...

Intel job listings hint at a potential shift away from hybrid CPUs toward a unified core architecture for future processors.

For years, processors focused on performance, and that performance had little accountability to anything else. Performance still matters, but now it must be accountable to power. If small gains in ...

With the launch of the 4 th generation of Intel Xeon Scalable processors and the Xeon CPU Max series, which were codenamed Sapphire Rapids, Intel is charting a new server architecture path for the ...

With its blend of open-source freedoms with the benefits of standardization, the RISC-V (risk-five) Foundation is attracting widespread industry interest. Its core specifications are stable and on the ...
