With silicon clock scaling largely dead thanks to the laws of physics, computer scientists and chip designers have had to search for performance improvements in other areas -- typically by improving ...

Intel’s cheapest desktop CPUs are now faster than AMD's, and Team Red is feeling pressure across the sub-$200 market.

Last week AMD’s Zen 5 architecture arrived to mixed reception on the desktop. KitGuru has reviewed the new Zen 5 Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X, and now we are moving on to the grunty Ryzen 9, ...

Moving on to Geekbench, the 9950X3D2 showcased a single-core score of 3,456, the highest recorded in its category, alongside a multi-core score of 21,062. These benchmarks suggest that the Ryzen 9 ...

It's been nearly eight years since Intel canceled Tejas and announced its plans for a new multi-core architecture. The press wasted little time in declaring conventional CPU scaling dead -- and while ...

From a technical standpoint, DHRUV64 is a modern 64-bit processor built on the open RISC-V architecture. Its dual-core design running at up to 1.0 GHz enables higher efficiency and better multitasking ...

Intel’s 14th-generation desktop processors were a mild update on top of a mild update: a barely faster revision of the 13th-gen Core CPUs, which were themselves a modest tweak to 2021’s 12th-gen Core ...

Whereas the company had previously counted each core as a full processor, it will now count each core of a multi-core chip as three-quarters of a processor. That would mean that Oracle 10g Enterprise ...

Buying multicore servers raises two new questions for enterprises: How do you avoid punitive software licensing, and which applications need multicore processors? Intel, Advanced Micro Devices and ...

I knew this was coming — I just didn’t expect it to happen quite just yet. It turns out that some of the best processors are on their way toward retirement, because eight-core CPUs are slowly becoming ...
