Prompted by the chipmaker's announcement of the SSE5 instruction-set extensions, Glaskowsky analyzes the ultimate outcome to this old controversy. Peter N. Glaskowsky is a computer architect in ...

It’s easy to look at the benchmark numbers of Apple’s home-grown processor with wide, astonished eyes—and some heart-felt expletives, too. The M1 is no doubt impressive enough to capture the interest ...

Today, if you want to build a high-performance computing device, you can almost certainly find all the software you need in a free and open form. The same is not true for the processor chips that run ...

Do you possess detailed knowledge of RISC-V Instruction Set Architectures (ISAs) and fancy yourself someone who can manage multiple tasks and self-prioritize? If so, then you may be a good candidate ...

CISC processors are inherently more flexible while RISC designs can be more cost effective for specific applications. The real difference in the two can be found in the dedication of your system ...

RISC-V is improving day by day, and a team already documented their process to get The Witcher 3 and Stray running on the architecture.

Ok I've been reading about computer development in the late 80's to early 90's. Such as the hype around RISC CPUs. RISC at the time was suppose to drive i386 out of the market. Microsoft even put ...

Basically industry leaders cede the less profitable low-end of the market to cheaper/inferior upstarts whose quality then improves such that they eventually take over more the more profitable high-end ...
