Multi-core processors theoretically can run many threads of code in parallel, but some categories of operation currently bog down attempts to raise overall performance by parallelizing computing. Is ...

Imagine an alpinist climbing within 100 feet of a summit and being told he could go no farther without a special pass. Or a chef being informed that the transcendent ingredient in her signature dish ...

Hot Chips 2023, an international conference where the latest technology in high-performance processors is announced, it was revealed that Intel is designing an 8-core processor with 66 threads per ...

Some workloads are a single tangled-up thread with various data types and crunchy compute; for these, our modern CPU cores are perfectly-suited. Other workloads (like, say, graphics) are giant piles ...

Hyper-Threading is one of those concepts that's been around a long time, and which everyone takes for granted. Despite that, relatively few enthusiasts really understand how it works or what the point ...

Which means despite having "52+" cores, it's still functionally 8 core/8 thread CPU for gaming. Games with more than 8 threads (like Frostbite) will possibly face slightly more latency on the extra ...

The new Xeon W processor series consists of 8 SKUs, starting with a simple 4-core/4-thread version. From there, it moves over six, eight, ten and fourteen-core versions until it reaches the top of the ...
