Last month, we reviewed the HP Z620 workstation and came away impressed with the system's performance and flexibility. Today, we're headed back to answer two additional questions. First, should ...

Most of Intel's microprocessor chips have a feature the company calls "hyper-threading." The technology improves performance in complex software environments by more efficiently juggling multiple ...

As we've come to learn recently, there are four new hardware vulnerabilities that affect Intel processors. These new flaws allow attackers to leak confidential data by exploiting microarchitectural ...

What just happened? Hyper-Threading has been a longstanding feature in Intel CPUs, but that might change in the near future. According to a recent report, Intel's upcoming 15th-gen Core "Arrow Lake" ...

I used to follow the processor business very closely and go to Microprocessor Forum, the premiere show in the industry, every year. One of the arguments made by the hardware geniuses, although never ...

The chipmaker's "hyper-threading" technology for boosting chip performance will debut soon with its first server versions of the Pentium 4 chip. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and ...

In an effort to match the pace of change, Intel has stuffed another two cores into its mainstream Coffee Lake silicon. Enter: the Intel Core i7 9700K, one of only three 9th Gen processors on the ...

LAST FEBRUARY, when Intel was still basking in the glow of its new Hyper-Threading Xeon DP CPU, the company suggested that it would be at least the second quarter of 2002 before we’d see ...

ZombieLoad is similar to previous “side channel” attacks, which trick Intel processors into coughing up potentially sensitive information that otherwise would be kept private by the CPU. The exploit ...

A new side-channel vulnerability has been discovered called PortSmash that uses a timing attack that to steal information from other processes running in the same CPU core with SMT/hyper-threading ...
