More evidence is mounting about clock speeds for Intel Arrow Lake CPUs, and it looks as though the company is taking a much more conservative approach to megahertz with its forthcoming desktop processors. According to the latest leak, the new Intel Core ...

Intel is preparing another flagship Alder Lake CPU with the introduction of the upcoming Core i9-12900KS, which is a heavily-binned 12900K with higher max Turbo CPU clocks. Intel's new Core i9-12900KS still packs 8 Golden Cove CPU cores and 8 Gracemont CPU ...

Once upon a time, there were two ways to overclock a CPU. Raising the multiplier has been the simplest and easiest option since it came to be, but old hardware nerds like this author will recall the days of raising motherboard front-side bus (FSB) clocks ...

Leaks are common in the world of PC hardware. Sometimes they're exciting, like when a product is accidentally shipped early and the lucky recipient posts their findings. Other times, the item - in this case, the Intel Core i9 14900KS - appears on a ...

From the moment you decide that your current Intel processor just isn’t up to par and start investigating an upgrade to your current laptop or desktop, you’re often bombarded with technical jargon. Quad-cores. Hyper-Threading. Turbo-Boosting.

With the launch of the Raptor Lake Refresh family last year, the only CPU that got more than a clock speed bump in specifications is the Core i7 14700K. Unlike other chips, it received more cores and incremental clock speed and cache memory increases alike.

For years, clock speed ruled the roost. It was the one metric you could point to, devoid of context, to say one component was "faster" than another. It's literally right there in the name. Clock speed directly shows how quickly your components are running ...

Whenever a process shrink is available to chip designers, there are several different levers they can pull to make a more powerful compute engine. With the latest “Aurora” Vector Engine accelerators from NEC, long-time supercomputer maker NEC is ...

Qualcomm is expanding its latest-generation Snapdragon chip line for Windows laptops with the Snapdragon X2 Plus, and with the new addition comes the promise of a 'legendary leap in performance.'
