A recent job advert mentions the 'Unified Core' design team and it seems that Intel's big core plans could be back on track ...

AMD's Bulldozer CPUs remind us of Betamax (or MiniDisc), in that its superlative design hasn't been embraced thanks to one or two humbling limitations. However, Mark Papermaster, Sunnyvale's new CTO, ...

Soft Machines' goal with Variable Instruction Set Computing (VISC) is to break through the efficiency barriers that have prevented modern chips from realizing great architectural improvements. The ...

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 ...

After waiting months for an update on AMD’s Phoenix 2 mobile CPU architecture, a report has confirmed that a new six-core (die) Ryzen 3 mobile CPU is coming soon that should feature the Phoenix 2 ...

It's no secret that general-purpose compute performance has been largely stuck in idle these last few years, with top-end improvements limited to single-digit increases. DARPA has a plan for ...

Efficient Compute Corp. Inc. launched today with a new central processing unit that it claims is up to 100 times more energy-efficient than leading general-purpose CPUs. The company also said it ...

It takes too long to get a new compute engine in the field, and everybody complains about it. Customers are impatient because they want more performance and the better bang for the buck that always ...
