PC makers rolled out their first dual-core processor desktop PCs on Monday as expected--and they aren't cheap. Alienware, Dell and lesser-known maker Velocity Micro are among the first to begin taking ...

Much has been made of efforts by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Intel Corp. to bring dual-core processors to PCs and servers. Yesterday, Freescale Semiconductor Inc. revealed details of a dual-core ...

Brooke Crothers writes about mobile computer systems, including laptops, tablets, smartphones: how they define the computing experience and the hardware that makes them tick. He has served as an ...

The benefits of dual-core will be obvious to builders who love to multitask. With a dual-processor system installed, it means there&'s a second processor core to share the load. For instance, if one ...

Intel has spent millions making their "Core" brand synonymous with high performance processing. In these days of the Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, and Core 2 Extreme, it’s pretty easy to find a ...

Just wanted to get the hive's perspective on this - I have a customer who has a couple of systems used exclusively for CAD work. They are dual Xeons, 2.4 GHz, purchased about 2 years ago, with a Gig ...

Dual core processors work best when software can run in parallel on them. So-called 'multithreaded applications' benefit from an additional CPU core because subroutines can be allocated to different ...

IBM released the first dual-core processor, the POWER4, in 2001 for the high-end server market. However, it was not until AMD and Intel x86 released desktop versions of dual-core CPUs in 2005 that the ...

Moore's law has defined processor development for decades. Intel co-founder Gordon Moore's edict, however, is sometimes inaccurately portrayed as saying that processors double in speed every few years ...

Selecting a processor for an embedded multimedia application is a complex endeavor. It involves a thorough analysis of the processor's core architecture and peripheral set, a solid understanding of ...

Can you remember when you received your first computer or device containing a CPU with more than one main processing core on the die? We’re guessing for many of you it was probably some time around ...

It's been a long, long time since we dedicated a full review to a Celeron processor, but we've been keen to explore the most entry-level Alder Lake CPUs after testing the impressive Core i3-12100F. So ...
