First published May 14, 1997. Intel finally went public on the radical new architecture required by the Pentium II processor last week. Banging the drum for the Dual Independent Bus (DIB) architecture ...

All computing devices, from smartphones to supercomputers, pass data back and forth along electronic channels called "buses." You can think about the buses like freeways, in that having additional ...

ARM9T Core The ARM9T family defines a set of RISC cores that are optimized to minimize cost and power dissipation. The family builds around the ARM9 Thumb architecture, a full ARM ISA also capable of ...

When considering the future of CPU architecture, some industry watchers predict excitement, and some predict boredom. But no one predicts a return to the old days, when speed doubled at least every ...

Sometimes cultures collide. Microprocessor design has always emphasized clock frequency, hand design and careful tuning at the circuit level. SoC design emphasizes floor planning, synthesized blocks ...
