In the early days of computing, everything ran quite a bit slower than what we see today. This was not only because the computers' central processing units – CPUs – were slow, but also because ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

A CPU relies on various kinds of storage to optimally run programs and power a computer. These include components like hard disks and SSDs for long-term storage, RAM and GPU memory for fast, temporary ...

Saying that it has been a busy launch season for AMD is an incredible understatement. Not only did we see the release of the high powered, high performing Ryzen 7000X Series, but we also got a full ...

Cache isn’t something PC gamers think nearly enough about. At least, that seems to be AMD’s thinking as of late. With the release of 3D V-Cache on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, though, AMD just proved its own ...

It’s easy to look strictly at the type of CPU and GPU you have when evaluating the kind of performance you’re likely to get in PC games. But beyond that lies another important stat, the CPU cache.

Intel is planning to sock it to AMD's dominant X3D CPUs with a 52-core version of its upcoming Nova Lake processor.

We’ve heard the story before. I was a proponent of it in the late 1990s, with the ‘first fully configurable’ processor core. So, did we already experience the ‘first’ one many years ago, or was the ...

Fabbed using a 0.1-µm, low-k copper process, the RM9000x2 64-bit, MIPS-based dual processor employs the Linux OS and draws less than 10W of total power with each processor running at 1 GHz. The device ...
