Since 2005, computer CPU chip makers have increasingly adopted the use of multiple cores to increase performance. Each core runs a separate computing task, so the computer gets more work done. Before ...
David Courtright of MIPS Technologies examines what cores need formulti-CPU designs and examines how the MIPS32 M4K4 core has beendesigned specifically for these SOCs. The use of multiple CPUs in SOC ...
RapidMind Multi-core Development Platform 3.0 helps developers fully leverage the processing power of multi-core x86 chips RapidMind is announcing on Monday software intended to help developers ...
BERKELEY, Calif. &#151 Is multithreading better than multi-core? Is multi-core better than multithreading? The fact is that the best vehicle for a given application might have one, the other or both.
Personally, I'd take at least a processor that has 1 core and hyperthreading or 2 cores. Reason being that I find single core machines to be rather annoying when you start doing more than a couple of ...
You could call 2005 the year of the dual-core processor. IBM has had dual-core server ships for years, but 2005 will be the year that dual-core reaches the consumer market. All the major processor ...
Discussions about CPUs often frame one instruction set architecture (ISA) against another—x86 vs. Arm, Arm vs. RISC-V, and so on. However, it’s common to use multiple CPU architectures in a single ...
Huxley Dunsay of Retro Roadshow joins us in the PCWorld studio to show off the BeBox, a 90s dual-CPU PC with a custom operating system.
At the launch of new line of Pentium 4 processors, Intel discussed the role dual-and multi-core processors will play in the digital home. Hi, I look after product development for CBS Interactive in ...
I have a 1.1GHz T-Bird, on an Asus A7A266 mobo, 128MB PC266 ram. When I assembled the thing (some time ago), at the bios I just selected the 1100MHz option on the CPU speed and left the CPU multiple ...
This microchip with 1,000 processor cores was designed by graduate students in the UC Davis Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The chip is thought to be fastest designed in a ...
