A lot of components have to work together to get the best performance out of a computer, but the most important is usually its processor. Intel's processor chips are in most of the computers you'll ...

Though the use of multiple processors has grown in recent years, multiprocessor computers are more than 30 years old. Since this time, their capabilities have evolved as much as their implementation.

Every chip and OEM device manufacturer now building components and solutions for the Internet of Things, especially wearable and battery-powered devices, faces a performance and power paradox ...

Computer engineers have developed a new AI method for accurately predicting the power consumption of any type of computer processor more than a trillion times per second while barely using any ...

Research shows that energy constraints on a system, coupled with an intrinsic property of systems, push silicon neurons to create a dynamic, at-a-distance communication that is more robust and ...

How to identify and fix execution bugs like Spectre and Meltdown has been a burning topic among microprocessor buffs this year. At Hot Chips, one of the industry’s premier academic conferences on ...

CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the most important part of a computer. All the calculations needed to run a particular task or application on a computer are processed by the CPU. That’s why it is ...

Logic gates are the fundamental components of computer processors. Conventional logic gates are electronic – they work by shuffling around electrons – but scientists have been developing light-based ...

In November 2020, Microsoft unveiled Pluton, a security processor that the company designed to thwart some of the most sophisticated types of hack attacks. On Tuesday, AMD said it would integrate the ...
