Since 2005, computer CPU chip makers have increasingly adopted the use of multiple cores to increase performance. Each core runs a separate computing task, so the computer gets more work done. Before ...

David Courtright of MIPS Technologies examines what cores need formulti-CPU designs and examines how the MIPS32 M4K4 core has beendesigned specifically for these SOCs. The use of multiple CPUs in SOC ...

Moore's law has defined processor development for decades. Intel co-founder Gordon Moore's edict, however, is sometimes inaccurately portrayed as saying that processors double in speed every few years ...

NetLogic Microsystems, Inc., a worldwide leader in high-performance intelligent semiconductor solutions for next-generation Internet networks, today announced the innovative XLP® II family of ...

Intel’s Core Ultra lineup of desktop and laptop processors has been frustrating to review. None of them have been ...

The adoption of Linux is accelerating, as it is becoming the operating system of choice for a variety of embedded applications. However, designers of these performance-intensive, embedded SoCs running ...

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 ...

RapidMind Multi-core Development Platform 3.0 helps developers fully leverage the processing power of multi-core x86 chips RapidMind is announcing on Monday software intended to help developers ...

If your Device Manager shows multiple processors, first check the model of processors in your computer. Many modern processors are built-in with numerous Cores and Threads. For instance, if your PC ...

Imagination Technologies announced a new multi-core processor called "PowerVX SGX543" that could land in the next-generation iPhone this summer. Imagination manufactures the PowerVR MBX chip found in ...

I have a 1.1GHz T-Bird, on an Asus A7A266 mobo, 128MB PC266 ram. When I assembled the thing (some time ago), at the bios I just selected the 1100MHz option on the CPU speed and left the CPU multiple ...
