There was once a time when a processor ran at a single, set clock speed. It ran at that speed all day, every day, unless it was purposely over or under-clocked by a user. In this simpler time there ...

This all applies to GPUs as well. The architecture, which includes things like memory bandwidth or cache hierarchy, impacts ...

This isn't something I thought I'd be writing in 2016, but a team at the University of California, Davis, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering have hit a world's first. The team have ...

In computing, the clock speed refers to the rate at which the clock generator of a processor can formulate pulses, which synchronize the operations of its parts. Experts use Clock Speed as an ...

The performance of a business computer at everyday tasks largely depends on two factors: its processor speed and the amount of memory it has. The processor's speed comes from its clock, a timing ...

A computer reduces every task to a series of calculations and the processor -- sometimes called the central processing unit -- physically carries out these calculations. In principle, the processor's ...

It’s amazing what people can do with one of AMD’s new eight-core FX processors, a specially built chassis, and a few tanks of liquid helium. In a pre-release stunt, AMD rounded up a small group of ...

Arm Holdings on Wednesday raised the clock speed of its Cortex A9 processor to 2GHz, with the aim of boosting application performance while drawing less power. Arm designs processor cores that are ...

From the moment you decide that your current Intel processor just isn’t up to par and start investigating an upgrade to your current laptop or desktop, you’re often bombarded with technical jargon.
