The RISC-V CPU architecture currently accounts for under 1% of the world’s processor market, but that is going to change rapidly over the next years as its parallel processing is perfectly suited to ...

This course introduces students to the architecture and design of Microcontrollers (MCUs), which are small processors used in a myriad of products. The main MCU components of the processor, memory, ...

Both Intel and AMD released dual-core desktop processors in 2005, but consumers are just now beginning to upgrade into the realm of increased hyper-tasking efficiency. The transition hasn't been ...

From 2005 to 2017—the pre-AI era—the electricity flowing into U.S. data centers remained remarkably stable. This was true despite the explosive demand for cloud-based services. Social networks such as ...

GTC Nvidia's rack-scale compute architecture is about to get really hot.… On stage at GTC on Tuesday, CEO Jensen Huang teased the tech titan's next-generation of high-end datacenter GPUs and CPUs ...

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 ...

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 ...

An Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) defines the software interface through which for example a central processor unit (CPU) is controlled. Unlike early computer systems which didn’t define a ...

Snapdragon processor naming convictions have become a lot more confusing recently, especially with the Snapdragon 7 series with new sub-variants. To summarize, we have three categories in the ...
