CPU architectures in a single system, whether that is a single system-on-chip (SoC) or a larger electronics platform ...

Why it matters: Intel is gearing up for what the company considers the "next major step" in the evolution of the original x86 instruction set architecture (ISA). The Santa Clara corporation is ...

Intel’s upcoming Nova Lake architecture might reintroduce powerful instruction set extensions long absent from its consumer lineup. Updates to the Netwide Assembler (NASM) and related toolchains hint ...

At the Intel Developer Forum, Pat Gelsinger, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the Digital Enterprise group, said the Santa Clara, Calif. chipmaker is busy developing new instruction ...

Remember how, back in 2023, we reported on Intel's AVX10? Intel said that the new standard would be backward compatible with all of the AVX-512 instruction set extensions, and that at some point, the ...

Storied rivals Intel and AMD have formed an industry group dedicated to "[shaping] the future of the world's most widely used computing architecture." The two companies announced the x86 advisory ...

Would you believe that you can take a relatively-modern Intel or AMD computer and install regular old MS-DOS on it? Well, you can (depending somewhat on the machine). Doing so will utterly waste the ...

Intel may exclude AVX10, APX, and AMX extensions from its Nova Lake CPUs, potentially hindering performance in some applications.

The Android operating system is built to run on three different types of processor architecture: Arm, Intel x86, and MIPS. The former is today’s ubiquitous architecture after Intel abandoned its ...

Right now, 64-bit apps and operating systems are becoming the norm, rather than the exception, for Windows users. Microsoft stopped offering 32-bit versions of Windows to its PC OEM partners in 2020.

The semiconductor industry is in for some big changes as new design architectures come to bear. Arm chips made headway in markets traditionally dominated by Intel and AMD, and RISC-V chips could be ...
