BERKELEY, Calif. &#151 Is multithreading better than multi-core? Is multi-core better than multithreading? The fact is that the best vehicle for a given application might have one, the other or both.

With the aim of simplifying multi-processor software development and enhancing interoperability between its boards, signal processing and sensor I/O, Radstone has introduced its AXIS integrated ...

You could call 2005 the year of the dual-core processor. IBM has had dual-core server ships for years, but 2005 will be the year that dual-core reaches the consumer market. All the major processor ...

Returning to a unified core design would give Intel extra room on the chip for more performance cores, but it would be a ...

This microchip with 1,000 processor cores was designed by graduate students in the UC Davis Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The chip is thought to be fastest designed in a ...

I have a 1.1GHz T-Bird, on an Asus A7A266 mobo, 128MB PC266 ram. When I assembled the thing (some time ago), at the bios I just selected the 1100MHz option on the CPU speed and left the CPU multiple ...
