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. Right ...

The era of universal processor architectures is giving way to workload-specific designs optimized for performance, power, and scalability. As data-centric applications in artificial intelligence (AI), ...

For years, processors focused on performance, and that performance had little accountability to anything else. Performance still matters, but now it must be accountable to power. If small gains in ...

Explore the 2026 ARM vs x86 battle—comparing processor architecture, CPU performance, and energy efficiency to reveal which chip design leads modern computing innovation. Pixabay, kenchan4 The ...

Over the years there have been a few CPUs designed to directly run a high-level programming language, the most common approach being to build a physical manifestation of a portable code virtual ...

As I’m sure many of you know, x86 architecture has been around for quite some time. It has its roots in Intel’s early 8086 processor, the first in the family. Indeed, even the original 8086 inherits a ...

The design, verification, and implementation of a processor is the core competence of some companies, but others just want to whip up a small processor as quickly and cheaply as possible. What tools ...

The drastic changes in processor technology development over the decades. Some of the key players in the early days of mainframes. The rise of microprocessors. The shrinking size of today's ...

This whitepaper is for developers new to TI ARM-based processors, as well as for experienced developers wanting to better understand the various ARM architectures. Beginning with an overview of ARM ...

Every so often, a semiconductor startup emerges claiming to have cracked a problem the industry’s biggest players have wrestled with for decades. Most fade quietly, but occasionally, one arrives that ...
