In reviewing CPU and server benchmarks, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that testing covers both single-core and multi-core performance. Here’s the difference. In terms of raw performance, both are equally ...

CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the most important part of a computer. All the calculations needed to run a particular task or application on a computer are processed by the CPU. That’s why it is ...

Enabling all cores of a processor can improve performance and multi-tasking capabilities, reduce the amount of energy consumed by the system, and improve the overall stability of the device, as the ...

Everyone has heard that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. Well, the central processing unit (CPU) is the powerhouse of the computer. It's the brain, and without a CPU in your computer, ...

In this article we will be discussing various aspects of multicore processing, including a look at different types of multicore processors and why these devices are becoming common and popular today.

With silicon clock scaling largely dead thanks to the laws of physics, computer scientists and chip designers have had to search for performance improvements in other areas -- typically by improving ...

The central processing unit, also known as the CPU, is the powerhouse of every single PC. Unlike other chips in the system, the CPU is always in use and all software relies on its ability to move data ...

A week ago, we were discussing the misconception that CPU performance doesn't matter for 4K gaming. We showed that although sometimes it doesn't matter – as you will indeed end up GPU limited – that's ...
