I'm not sure where to put this but I think this is the right spot. After taking a Computer Architecture class, we brushed on MIPS stuff mostly and some light x86 work. Basically, what I learned in the ...

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 power-efficient. My master’s degree work many decades ago was ...

“Energy efficiency of electronic digital processors is primarily limited by the energy consumption of electronic communication and interconnects. The industry is almost unanimously pushing towards ...

Chip startup Efficient Computer Corp. exited stealth mode in 2024 with a $16 million seed funding round with the announcement of its first computer processor, the E0 system-on-chip (SoC) for ...

All Android smartphones and all Apple iPhones use CPUs based on the Arm Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). An ISA defines the instruction set and outlines the design philosophy behind that ...

"Chip design is not rocket science. It's much more difficult," is a running joke in the industry. But in an age where AI is helping solve some of the biggest challenges across medical science and ...

AMD introduced its first family of desktop processors based on its new Zen 3 architecture, promising a significant uplift in performance as it challenges Intel's dominance in chips for personal ...

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 ...

The release of next-gen gaming CPUs is inherently tied to the development of new breakthroughs in CPU manufacturing and design. One such step towards a future Intel CPU design has seemingly been ...

Heat is not a new problem in computer and semiconductor design. It goes back all the way to ENIAC in 1946. In the early 1950s, companies air-conditioned their computer rooms to combat heat. Starting ...

We have developed and tested a secure new computer processor that thwarts hackers by randomly changing its underlying structure, thus making it virtually impossible to hack. A processor is the piece ...
