What a difference a year makes. One year ago, we were dazed, dazzled and beguiled by the arrival of dual-core processors. Offerings from Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. had analysts, ...

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 ...

In reviewing CPU and server benchmarks, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that testing covers both single-core and multi-core performance. Here’s the difference. In terms of raw performance, both are equally ...

The first smartphones with dual-core processors reached the market in 2010. Before that smartphones used single-core processors maxing out at around 1.4GHz. Since then the number of cores has grown ...

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 ...

On a dual-core processor, you can entirely disable the second core through the System Configuration menu or partially disable it using processor affinity options. System Configuration lets you set how ...

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 ...

TL;DR: Intel's upcoming Core Ultra 9 386H "Panther Lake" CPU offers strong single- and multi-core performance with 16 cores and advanced cache, but it trails AMD's flagship Strix Halo APUs in ...

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 ...

If your brain broke this morning when Intel announced its 10th-gen Comet Lake laptop CPUs, which will sell alongside its 10th-gen Ice Lake chips, we understand. Among the two different manufacturing ...
