The Android operating system is built to run on three different types of processor architecture: Arm, Intel x86, and MIPS. The former is today’s ubiquitous architecture after Intel abandoned its ...

Chipset architecture used to be split into two main chips: the Northbridge for fast stuff like the CPU and RAM, and the ...

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 ...

Amid a more contested laptop processor market than ever, Intel's next-gen mobile CPUs promise to bring the AI heat and drop power consumption drastically. Here's the skinny on the coming silicon. I ...

Multi-core processors theoretically can run many threads of code in parallel, but some categories of operation currently bog down attempts to raise overall performance by parallelizing computing. Is ...
