Q: Looking at common CPUs for PC building and the specs for the upcoming next-generation consoles, I’ve found myself wondering: Will we need 8-core, 16-thread CPUs for gaming soon? No, not in the near ...

We are all curious to see what kind of performance Intel's upcoming Alder Lake processors will deliver, and how the hybrid architecture will play out. Answers will come in time. For now, we are left ...

AMD’s Ryzen 9 9900X 12-core 24-thread unlocked processor is down to $329 at Amazon right now, which is 34% off its regular ...

Does the fact that there are two threads running simultaneously on a single core slow one or both threads down as compared to having that only one thread running on a single core? I'm talking about ...

From the moment you decide that your current Intel processor just isn’t up to par and start investigating an upgrade to your current laptop or desktop, you’re often bombarded with technical jargon.

Within a matter of months, Intel will introduce its first Alder Lake processors, effectively marking a near wholesale transition to hybrid computing, and kicking off the DDR5 memory era. From an ...

Sounds like a thread from 2002 ... I'm trying to confirm whether a CPU in an HP DL380G4 running Solaris X86 is dual core or HyperThreading, this makes a difference of about $16,000 in Oracle licenses.

For most of the past decade, Intel has followed a fairly steady set of rules when speccing out its Core i3, i5, and i7 processors. Until last year, Core i3 chips were dual-cores with Hyper-Threading ...

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT brings 16 cores and 32 threads to the AM4 platform, with a 3.3 GHz base clock and a 4.8 GHz boost. It runs on AMD’s Zen 3 architecture, so it’s a straight drop-in upgrade for ...

Rumor has it: With its "Arrow Lake" processors, Intel could ditch its familiar core-doubling technology. The upside of such a radical move might surprise you. I have been interested in science and ...
