Explore the 2026 ARM vs x86 battle—comparing processor architecture, CPU performance, and energy efficiency to reveal which chip design leads modern computing innovation.

Once upon a time, not overclocking your CPU meant you were missing out on a major free performance boost. A smidge of manual tweaking and a bigger cooler would have yielded you a significantly faster ...

I'm sure most of you already know that modern CPUs run hot out of the box. In recent years, both Intel and AMD have pushed their chips closer to their thermal and power limits than ever before. That's ...

The microprocessor is the heart of every computer built today. It is the work horse that helps run and manage every application and program. Because of the importance of this piece, it is essential ...

Does anybody know how efficient, in terms of Instructions Per Clockcycle, modern CPUs are? I think a few years ago, the Alpha was king, being able to execute 3-4 per cycle. At that time, if I remember ...

The development of caches and caching is one of the most significant events in the history of computing. Virtually every modern CPU core from ultra-low power chips like the ARM Cortex-A5 to the ...

When there is talked about modern CPUs and GPUs the terms SIMD processor, Stream processor and Vector processor often pops up. I have been trying to figure out how these terms relate but its unclear ...

If you ever develop an embedded system in a corporate environment, someone will probably tell you that you can only use 80% of the CPU or some other made-up number. The theory is that you will need ...
