When considering the future of CPU architecture, some industry watchers predict excitement, and some predict boredom. But no one predicts a return to the old days, when speed doubled at least ...

Unlike DSPs, superscalar processors you’d find in your desktop have an enormous amount of registers, and most of these are rename registers, or places where the CPU stores a value temporarily.

CPU speeds are measured in GHz, but they don't tell the full story of a processor's performance, multi-tasking capability, and other computing features.

We have developed and tested a secure new computer processor that thwarts hackers by randomly changing its underlying structure, thus making it virtually impossible to hack. A processor is the ...

TRIPS is an example of a new computer architecture called EDGE for Explicit Data Graph Execution. While a traditional processor makes use of limited parallel processing to increase instruction ...

The proposed x86S CPU architecture from Intel would ditch support for 32-bit apps and operating systems entirely in favor of 64-bit software, but it could support older apps with virtualization.
