Processor vendors are starting to emphasize microarchitectural improvements and data movement over process node scaling, setting the stage for much bigger performance gains in devices that narrowly ...

Nothing ever made is truly perfect and indeed, CPU architectures like x86, RISC-V, ARM, and PowerPC all have their own upsides and downsides. Today, I aim to make an architecture that learns from all ...

Intel’s next generation of Alder Lake-S Core processors are said to be the company’s first 10nm-based mainstream desktop processors, and we have already seen documents, datasheets, and release notes ...

The RISC-V CPU architecture currently accounts for under 1% of the world’s processor market, but that is going to change rapidly over the next years as its parallel processing is perfectly suited to ...

Why this new architecture was the best thing at CES 2026. What is a dataflow architecture? Why Efficient Computer’s Electron E1 processor design is so radical. How the Electron E1 is able to be so ...

I have a certain basic understanding of how CPUs are made up with functional blocks, stages in a pipeline, why instructions are decoded and dispatched, and a naive understanding of cache hierarchy.
