Reducing the CPU speed is an important part of power management in modern laptop computers. In fact, running the CPU at a lower speed not only saves power, it reduces the heat production, which ...

The first leak of near-final silicon gives a sneak peek at the integrated GPU performance of Intel's first 18A chips.

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Via Technologies is preparing to improve the performance of its CPU family to achieve a 2-GHz clock frequency this year, which would help allay some user complaints that its low-power ...

As the initial wave of iPhone 5 reviews hit, it looked as if Apple's dual-core A6 processor was sporting a clock speed of around 1GHz. We saw reports (and confirmed with our own handset) ranging ...

I'm taking a computer architecture course at my university to satisfy some prerequisites I'm missing for grad school. As a disclaimer, I'm in CS, not CE or EE, so my understanding of the detailed ...

AMD has announced that it has grabbed the Guinness World Record for the highest frequency of a computer processor. The record was set using an 8-core AMD FX desktop CPU. The CPU won't hit stores until ...

In today’s post, we will explore the cause and possible resolution to the issue of CPU frequencies shown in the Windows 11/10 System Properties page do not match. From the System property page, you ...

There are a couple of reasons why frequency boosting is already an interesting topic. It allows your CPU to reach higher frequencies than it would otherwise reach at stock speed, and that's especially ...

To my knowledge, processors with longer pipelines (P4) are able to run at higher frequencies as opposed to those with shorter piplines (Athlon). I've read that from several places but none of them ...
