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 ...

David Courtright of MIPS Technologies examines what cores need formulti-CPU designs and examines how the MIPS32 M4K4 core has beendesigned specifically for these SOCs. The use of multiple CPUs in SOC ...

The chiplet-based approach allows Intel to mix-and-match these tiles to offer three distinct iterations of Panther Lake: the ...

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 ...

RapidMind Multi-core Development Platform 3.0 helps developers fully leverage the processing power of multi-core x86 chips RapidMind is announcing on Monday software intended to help developers ...

Adding cores to a processor in order to gain a performance boost while lowering power demand has become standard practice in the computing and embedded processor industries. While a similar evolution ...

A reader recently contacted us and asked a question worth answering in an article. How does Windows (and perhaps all OS's) take advantage of multiple cores? Alternatively, if this function is built ...

Enabling all cores of a processor can improve performance and multi-tasking capabilities, reduce the amount of energy consumed by the system, and improve the overall stability of the device, as the ...

Intel has released its new Core Ultra Series 3 'Panther Lake' CPUs at CES 2026: first on Intel 18A process node, and made in ...

Just five years ago, debating the merits of a 6-core CPU versus an 8-core model wasn’t possible. We were all stuck with 4-core chips at a consumer level—to break past that barrier, you had to pay ...
