CPU architectures in a single system, whether that is a single system-on-chip (SoC) or a larger electronics platform ...

Intel’s upcoming Nova Lake architecture might reintroduce powerful instruction set extensions long absent from its consumer lineup. Updates to the Netwide Assembler (NASM) and related toolchains hint ...

Why it matters: Intel is gearing up for what the company considers the "next major step" in the evolution of the original x86 instruction set architecture (ISA). The Santa Clara corporation is ...

At the Intel Developer Forum, Pat Gelsinger, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the Digital Enterprise group, said the Santa Clara, Calif. chipmaker is busy developing new instruction ...

Would you believe that you can take a relatively-modern Intel or AMD computer and install regular old MS-DOS on it? Well, you can (depending somewhat on the machine). Doing so will utterly waste the ...

The Android operating system is built to run on three different types of processor architecture: Arm, Intel x86, and MIPS. The former is today’s ubiquitous architecture after Intel abandoned its ...

In brief: Intel 12th Gen Core desktop processors never officially supported AVX-512, but we have workarounds to enable this instruction set. However, new firmware releases might render these methods ...

The semiconductor industry is in for some big changes as new design architectures come to bear. Arm chips made headway in markets traditionally dominated by Intel and AMD, and RISC-V chips could be ...

A technical paper titled “Energy-Efficient Exposed Datapath Architecture With a RISC-V Instruction Set Mode” was published by researchers at Tampere University. “Transport triggered architectures ...
