If your handheld runs hot or drains battery quickly, turning off CPU Boost could help deliver smoother performance in ...

When I first got into PC gaming, I used to take CPU boost clocks at face value and even prioritized them over base clocks. Seeing my old Ryzen 9 5900X advertised as "up to 4.8GHz" made me believe that ...

In reality, though, the RTC (Real Time Clock) bug simply means that the CPU is having the speed it's running at misrepresented, when in fact, it's actually at lower (normal) clock frequencies. This is ...

CPU design has been undergoing something of a shake-up recently, what with the addition of NPUs into the mix and some radical configurations and chip construction techniques to optimise them. Flow ...

In brief: AMD's Zen 5 series chips arrived earlier this month to some salty reviews over the performance discrepancies that didn't reflect the promised uplifts. Not long after, the chipmaker announced ...

The next-gen Intel Lunar Lake CPUs will be for ultra-low mobile power systems, which will succeed the current-gen Core Ultra 100U "Meteor Lake" CPUs that we've seen deployed since CES 2024 earlier ...

The first commercial microprocessor, Intel's 4004, debuted in 1971 with 2,300 transistors, a 108-kHz system clock and a 4-bit bus. Since then, chip architects have increased the computational ...

The advent of Intel's new 14th-generation CPUs builds on the success of its 13th-generation Raptor Lake-based CPUs with higher clocks and, in some cases, higher core counts in tow. Meanwhile, AMD ...

Qualcomm said Wednesday that it has acquired Ventana Micro Systems, a startup that was focused on developing server CPU ...
