NetLogic Microsystems, Inc., a worldwide leader in high-performance intelligent semiconductor solutions for next-generation Internet networks, today announced the innovative XLP® II family of ...

Since 2005, computer CPU chip makers have increasingly adopted the use of multiple cores to increase performance. Each core runs a separate computing task, so the computer gets more work done. Before ...

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 ...

It's hard to overemphasize how far computers have come and how they have transformed just about every aspect of our lives. From rudimentary devices like toasters to cutting-edge devices like ...

It has been surprising and frankly somewhat satisfying to see the success to date of the "Wolfdale" core architecture in Intel’s Core 2 lineup of processors. "Wolfdale" is Intel’s first 45nm based ...

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. today demonstrated its first dual-core microprocessors at its Austin office. Dual-core processors, which are set to hit the market next year, offer improved performance ...

Selecting a processor for an embedded multimedia application is a complex endeavor. It involves a thorough analysis of the processor's core architecture and peripheral set, a solid understanding of ...

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 ...

The first smartphones with dual-core processors reached the market in 2010. Before that smartphones used single-core processors maxing out at around 1.4GHz. Since then the number of cores has grown ...

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 ...

On a dual-core processor, you can entirely disable the second core through the System Configuration menu or partially disable it using processor affinity options. System Configuration lets you set how ...
