[RetroBytes] nicely presents the curious history of the SPARC processor architecture ... were 32 bit architectures. Evolution to SPARC Version 9 jumped up to 64 bits but preserved backward ...

If you’d like to build a general-purpose computer, you’ll have to go with a superscalar processor – an x86, PowerPC, or any one of the other really beefy CPU architectures out there.

The brains of the PC is a central processing unit (CPU) made by Intel or AMD (Advanced Micro Devices). It stems from the Intel 8086 (x86) architecture in the IBM PC in 1981. Following is a brief ...

The rise of the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), managed by RISC-V International, is happening at an exciting time in the evolution of ... a broader choice of CPU, NPU, and IP core ...

The cores are said to be Oryon V3 spec. Presumably that indicates the third generation of the Oryon CPU architecture, which is roughly analogous to the various generations of Zen CPU designs from AMD.

All programs and data processing are run in the CPU and all hardware components are, to some extent, controlled by it.

With the new CPU architecture, she said, AMD is now claiming to have faster single-threaded performance over Intel’s processors. “Zen 3 increases our lead in overall performance,” she said.

Back at its Architecture Day 2021 event, when Intel shared the core design details of its Alder Lake CPU architecture, the firm stated that Windows 11 was optimized in a way to best take advantage ...
