This topic is only directed at the those holding very most advanced programming skills and understanding, but I tossed in some basics so others could follow along if they wish. Many of us that have ...

Backside power delivery, however, is the one CPU innovation that I'm actually really looking forward to. It's the sort of ...

Embedded microcontrollers are the original SoC devices. In the last few years FPGA and PLD manufacturers have proffered the term “System- on- a Programmable Chip” (SOPC) which captures the idea of ...

Milpitas, Calif. – Designers at LSI Logic Corp. have been pondering a dilemma that involves structured ASICs. Most system-level chip designs implemented in a large ASIC involve a CPU core. The issue ...

The Swift chip combines the functions of three other chips and utilizes 45-nanometer production, allowing for smaller and mor eefficient laptops and PCs AMD plans to combine the functions of three ...

Back in November 2008, with the introduction of its significantly redesigned 45nm Nehalem architecture (see: first-gen Core i7 Series), Intel took its traditional three-part northbridge / CPU / ...

Is your chip fast enough? Is it too fast? Systems engineers might be paying for more chip than they need, or they may be dangerously close to over-taxing their current processor. Take the guesswork ...

One of the first indicators of a runtime performance problem is a high Java CPU usage report from a JVM profiler or Java monitoring tool. Unfortunately, high Java CPU utilization problems on Windows ...

Embedded microcontrollers are the original SoC devices. In the last few years FPGA and PLD manufacturers have proffered the term "System- on- a Programmable Chip" (SOPC) which captures the idea of ...

AMD plans to combine the functions of three chips -- the GPU (graphics processing unit ), core-logic chipset, and CPU -- into one, code-named "Swift," an executive said Thursday. The company, which ...
