Because ARM licenses its designs, multiple companies can integrate ARM technology into a single system-on-a-chip, or SoC. A modern smartphone SoC combines CPUs, graphics processors, AI accelerators, ...

The Android operating system is built to run on three different types of processor architecture: Arm, Intel x86, and MIPS. The former is today’s ubiquitous architecture after Intel abandoned its ...

In case you are unaware, MediaTek holds the Top position in the global smartphone processor market with a 35% market share (as of Q3 2024). Qualcomm follows in second place, having a 25% market share.

Have you ever wondered what those confusing letters and numbers at the end of the CPU mean? Every year, Intel and AMD release new generations of their CPUs with updated specifications and sometimes ...

Discussions about CPUs often frame one instruction set architecture (ISA) against another—x86 vs. Arm, Arm vs. RISC-V, and so on. However, it’s common to use multiple CPU architectures in a single ...

For years, processors focused on performance, and that performance had little accountability to anything else. Performance still matters, but now it must be accountable to power. If small gains in ...

When Qualcomm launched its Snapdragon X series processors, it didn't just release a single chip but gave us an entire range of ARM-based CPUs designed to challenge the traditional x86 dominance in ...

Amid a more contested laptop processor market than ever, Intel's next-gen mobile CPUs promise to bring the AI heat and drop power consumption drastically. Here's the skinny on the coming silicon. I ...

The multi-core, 64-bit processors leverage ARMv8 compliant cores, which can operate at up to 3 GHz, and can reduce server costs and power by more than 50 percent, according to AppliedMicro. X-Gene ...

Data centers continue to heat up as new processors consume more energy than ever before. Cooling is the primary weapon against the heat these processors generate, but it won’t be able to keep up ...
