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 ...

Data centers continue to heat up as new processors consume more energy than ever before. Cooling is the primary weapon against the heat these processors generate, but it won’t be able to keep up ...

Why this new architecture was the best thing at CES 2026. What is a dataflow architecture? Why Efficient Computer’s Electron E1 processor design is so radical. How the Electron E1 is able to be so ...

RISC-V is an open-source Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that rapidly transforms the CPU design and development landscape. Unlike proprietary ISAs, RISC-V allows free access to architecture ...

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 ...

Intel's 2026 calendar is busy. Between the refreshed Arrow Lake desktop CPU, new data center processors, the Arc C-series graphics cards, and the Panther Lake mobile SoC, Team Blue's newest tech will ...
