NetLogic Microsystems, Inc., a worldwide leader in high-performance intelligent semiconductor solutions for next-generation Internet networks, today announced the innovative XLP® II family of ...

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 ...

Researchers have integrated two CRISPR-Cas9-based core processors into human cells. This represents a huge step towards creating powerful biocomputers. Controlling gene expression through gene ...

Brooke Crothers writes about mobile computer systems, including laptops, tablets, smartphones: how they define the computing experience and the hardware that makes them tick. He has served as an ...

Selecting a processor for an embedded multimedia application is a complex endeavor. It involves a thorough analysis of the processor's core architecture and peripheral set, a solid understanding of ...

It has been surprising and frankly somewhat satisfying to see the success to date of the "Wolfdale" core architecture in Intel’s Core 2 lineup of processors. "Wolfdale" is Intel’s first 45nm based ...

The first smartphones with dual-core processors reached the market in 2010. Before that smartphones used single-core processors maxing out at around 1.4GHz. Since then the number of cores has grown ...

If you're looking to create a low-cost, high-end workstation, it's time to get up to snuff on dual-core processing technology. The benefits of dual-core will be obvious to builders with clients that ...

Dual core processors work best when software can run in parallel on them. So-called 'multithreaded applications' benefit from an additional CPU core because subroutines can be allocated to different ...

If I have a computer with a 2.66GHz quad-core processor, will it run my software and games faster than my 3.2GHz single-core Pentium 4? Yes, quad-core CPUs are generally much faster than single-core ...

On a dual-core processor, you can entirely disable the second core through the System Configuration menu or partially disable it using processor affinity options. System Configuration lets you set how ...

LG Electronics on Tuesday announced a new series of smartphones with next-generation dual-core processors, which should provide a big leap in performance while maintaining device battery life. LG’s ...
