I keep reading here and elsewhere about how a 64 bit processor doesn't offer any inherently better performance over a 32 bit one, and that makes sense to me. Except for the case of 64 bit floating ...

India has formally introduced DHRUV64, a 64-bit, dual-core microprocessor based on the RISC-V instruction set, developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) under the national ...

In brief: Arm's latest mobile CPU and GPU designs are official, and the big focus this year is on boosting energy efficiency through various microarchitectural improvements. The company is also ...

The multi-core, 64-bit processors leverage ARMv8 compliant cores, which can operate at up to 3 GHz, and can reduce server costs and power by more than 50 percent, according to AppliedMicro. X-Gene ...

Sixty-four-bit computing is here and available to systems builders now. Although recent advances in 32-bit processors have been impressive, the idea of data coursing through 64-bit wide registers at ...

A friend came by the other day. He is planning to buy a new laptop and he wanted my advice. He’s an avid gamer and wants to get the fastest machine he can afford. He travels several months out of the ...

China’s Loongson Technology has designed two 64-bit, quad-core Mips processors that can also execute code based on the x86 (Intel-compatible) and ARM architectures. That’s a unique twist in the ...

Forward-looking: After being beaten by AMD in introducing the first, truly 64-bit instruction set in the x86 CPU world, Intel is now trying to get ahead of its historical competitor by working on a ...

While India has undertaken smaller-scale chip projects in the past, Dhruv64's 64-bit architecture and 1.0 GHz dual-core design mark a significant leap forward in power and functionality.

Fabbed using a 0.1-µm, low-k copper process, the RM9000x2 64-bit, MIPS-based dual processor employs the Linux OS and draws less than 10W of total power with each processor running at 1 GHz. The device ...

Big Blue plans to introduce a 64-processor server, the high-end pinnacle of efforts to reclaim its server crown from competitor Sun Microsystems. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to 2024 and ...
