To give you the information you need to make an informed decision, we've corralled all the processor specs into a comprehensive buyer's guide. As in last year's guide, we've covered both the Intel and ...

What a difference a year makes. One year ago, we were dazed, dazzled and beguiled by the arrival of dual-core processors. Offerings from Intel Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. had analysts, ...

What would the results of a dual-core desktop CPU fight look like? Many people equate Windows PCs with Intel Pentium processors (and soon will likely be doing the same with Macs), but we've seen ...

Dual core processors work best when software can run in parallel on them. So-called 'multithreaded applications' benefit from an additional CPU core because subroutines can be allocated to different ...

Nashua N.H. — NextCom LLC’s new extreme computing architecture called “Flextreme,” leverages open standards, small form factors, and mobility with AMD Opteron 32- and 64-bit computing. What sets ...

You could call 2005 the year of the dual-core processor. IBM has had dual-core server ships for years, but 2005 will be the year that dual-core reaches the consumer market. All the major processor ...

Brooke Crothers writes about mobile computer systems, including laptops, tablets, smartphones: how they define the computing experience and the hardware that makes them tick. He has served as an ...

Most consumer PCs are designed for a single Intel or AMD processor, and dual CPU setups are primarily found in servers designed for heavy workloads. This is because these days, most standard CPUs have ...

If I have a computer with a 2.66GHz quad-core processor, will it run my software and games faster than my 3.2GHz single-core Pentium 4? Yes, quad-core CPUs are generally much faster than single-core ...

The benefits of dual-core will be obvious to builders who love to multitask. With a dual-processor system installed, it means there&'s a second processor core to share the load. For instance, if one ...

For a small business, upgrading a computer can often provide the same boost in computing power needed for sluggish systems as a complete computer replacement. One of the best values in upgrades is the ...

Researchers have integrated two CRISPR-Cas9-based core processors into human cells. This represents a huge step towards creating powerful biocomputers. Controlling gene expression through gene ...
