Returning to a unified core design would give Intel extra room on the chip for more performance cores, but it would be a ...

A recent job advert mentions the 'Unified Core' design team and it seems that Intel's big core plans could be back on track ...

Intel is looking for a new Senior CPU Verification Engineer, a highly skilled position that could introduce some massive changes in the company's upcoming CPUs. The ...

"Chip design is not rocket science. It's much more difficult," is a running joke in the industry. But in an age where AI is helping solve some of the biggest challenges across medical science and ...

AMD's Bulldozer CPUs remind us of Betamax (or MiniDisc), in that its superlative design hasn't been embraced thanks to one or two humbling limitations. However, Mark Papermaster, Sunnyvale's new CTO, ...

Soft Machines' goal with Variable Instruction Set Computing (VISC) is to break through the efficiency barriers that have prevented modern chips from realizing great architectural improvements. The ...

After waiting months for an update on AMD’s Phoenix 2 mobile CPU architecture, a report has confirmed that a new six-core (die) Ryzen 3 mobile CPU is coming soon that should feature the Phoenix 2 ...

It's no secret that general-purpose compute performance has been largely stuck in idle these last few years, with top-end improvements limited to single-digit increases. DARPA has a plan for ...

It appears that Intel could be making plans to ditch its current hybrid core design, and return to a Unified Core Design for ...

We don't have a perpetual general thread, so.... This video sounds kind of interesting. From what it sounds like, there are a number of circuits (one for each operation) on tiles in the CPU (not like ...

I'm not sure where to put this but I think this is the right spot. After taking a Computer Architecture class, we brushed on MIPS stuff mostly and some light x86 work. Basically, what I learned in the ...

Building a simple 8-bit computer is a great way to understand computing fundamentals, but there’s only so much you can learn by building a system around an existing processor. If you want to learn ...
