It’s been almost two years since AMD introduced its Ryzen 7000 series desktop CPUs and the Zen 4 CPU architecture. Today, AMD is announcing the first concrete details about their successors. The Ryzen ...

Microarchitecture analysts have examined NVIDIA's GB10 'Superchip' and determined that its CPU cores are capable of going toe-to-toe with Intel and AMD.

The chips are built using a new Apple-designed Fusion Architecture. This innovative design combines two dies into a single ...

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 ...

In just a week, we went from only having one option for AI PCs, or what Microsoft calls Copilot+PC, to three. At Computex, Intel announced the new Core Ultra system-on-chip (SoC) codenamed Lunar Lake ...

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 ...

The design, verification, and implementation of a processor is the core competence of some companies, but others just want to whip up a small processor as quickly and cheaply as possible. What tools ...

GPUs, ASICs, and other AI processors require enormous amounts of power delivered at low voltages and high currents.

Chip startup Efficient Computer Corp. exited stealth mode in 2024 with a $16 million seed funding round with the announcement of its first computer processor, the E0 system-on-chip (SoC) for ...

In this installment we will investigate how a cloud processing system is structured to address and react to artificial intelligence technologies; how a GPU and CPU (central processing unit) compare ...

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 ...
