All your questions about the great nemesis of graphics, and some of its cures, answered in one fell swoop. Would you kindly jump right in?
Analysis of Intel's QPI 1.1 introduced with Sandy Bridge.
Have you fallen behind on the latest semiconductor technology? Fret not, our good friend David Kanter has analyzed the recent process technology advancements in his latest article. This is your chance to finally understand the technologies being used to manufacture your next potential GPU.
Westmere comes, RealWorldTech covers.
Intel and TSMC announced yesterday that they were joining forces, with TSMC integrating Intel Atom technology into its product offering.
Back in 2008, we talked a few times about AMD's Propus chip - basically a Deneb with no L3 cache and 5-10% lower performance in desktop applications - and how important it is to AMD's prospects in desktops. Now Fudzilla claims a 45W EE SKU is slated for early Q2…
For the longest time it was known simply as Nehalem, a brand new microarchitecture and the next tick of Intel's release cadence for x86. Now it has officially broken cover as Core i7, the successor to the massively popular Core 2 products that took the world by storm 2 years…
You'd think a new, cheaper quad-core from Intel would be bad news for AMD. However, it turns out that Intel is going so soft on pricing and performance that this might actually turn out to be good news for AMD compared to most alternative scenarios.
IBM today made formal the announcement of an HPC-targeted variant of the Cell B.E. processor, given the name PowerXCell 8i. Featuring re-engineered SPEs with enhanced dual-precision performance and improved memory addressability, the processor is capable of ~102 DP GFlops and support for up to...
It's official: the iPhone's future CPU will have a TDP of 25W! Or so mindlessly speculate Forbes and a variety of other websites following Apple's stunning acquisition of P.A. Semi, a manufacturer of power-efficient PowerPC-based CPUs. [UPDATED 4X]
Introduced by Toshiba last September, the Cell-based SpursEngine co-processor has begun shipment in the form of a single lane PCI Express add-in board.
What does it mean!? Our friends at Real World Tech have a stab at interpreting the recently leaked benchmarks of the eagerly awaited AMD Bulldozer.
The x86 microprocessor world is on the verge of hotting up again, as both big vendors gear up to launch new products. With AMD's approach to x86 evolution being infinitely more interesting than Intel's, we're glad of any deep analysis into the inner workings of Bulldozer, their next-gen µarch.
Not sure about the ALL CAPS myself, but AMD, ATIC and MDC's joint venture finally got its final name, logo and presence on the Internet.
AMD, the Advanced Technology Investment Company, and Mubadala Development Company have put final ink on paper to create The Foundry Company
Yesterday, at the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, a team of researchers presented their report documenting a successful attack on known vulnerabilities within the MD5 cryptographic hash function...
At last month's International Supercomputing Conference in Dresden, NASA presented the results of an internal study exploring the suitability of the Cell BE architecture towards accelerating key aspects of climate modeling.
This week, the world of computing officially entered the petaflop era with the announcement that the Los Alamos National Laboratory's 'Roadrunner' had become the first supercomputer in history to cross the psychologically significant threshold of a thousand-trillion calculations per second...
AMD has finally released the Phenom X3 outside of the OEM market, with reviews already available at all major hardware websites, including The Tech Report. But is it good?
IBM announced Monday that the semiconductor research alliance led by the firm had successfully demonstrated significant process advancement through the incorporation of high-k/metal gate (HKMG) in test silicon at its East Fishkill fab. Anticipated originally for the 45nm node...
David Kanter at Real World Technologies just published his usual brand of excellent architecture analysis for Intel's upcoming Nehalem processor - there aren't many changes, but it's still well worth the read. At the same time, DT says an A1 Nehalem system at IDF is running at an impressive 3.2GHz.
