M5 Pro and M5 Max both use the same 18-core CPU die, but Pro uses a 20-core GPU die, and Max gets a 40-core GPU die. (Because the memory controller is also part of the GPU die, the Max chip still ...

The advent of Intel's new 14th-generation CPUs builds on the success of its 13th-generation Raptor Lake-based CPUs with higher clocks and, in some cases, higher core counts in tow. Meanwhile, AMD ...

Intel will preview a multicore future this week during the Fall Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco as it tries to leave behind a tumultuous year plagued by product delays and road-map revisions.

As part of Apple’s flurry of Mac announcements earlier this week, the company announced the new M5 Pro and M5 Max processors. And those chips are shaking up the way that Apple designs and talks about ...

Data center consolidation and virtualization may be driving server implementations these days, but there's a much more fundamental shift occurring at the microprocessor platform level. Systems based ...

With silicon clock scaling largely dead thanks to the laws of physics, computer scientists and chip designers have had to search for performance improvements in other areas -- typically by improving ...

A reader recently contacted us and asked a question worth answering in an article. How does Windows (and perhaps all OS's) take advantage of multiple cores? Alternatively, if this function is built ...

Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel said last week it will replace a multiprocessor platform scheduled for 2007 called Reidland with a new platform that will provide a dedicated bus from each CPU to the ...

Sun Microsystems Inc. today released its next generation of multicore chip technology, the Niagara 2 processor, which it says more than doubles the performance of its predecessor chip. Sun also ...

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

RapidMind Multi-core Development Platform 3.0 helps developers fully leverage the processing power of multi-core x86 chips RapidMind is announcing on Monday software intended to help developers ...
