Explore the 2026 ARM vs x86 battle—comparing processor architecture, CPU performance, and energy efficiency to reveal which chip design leads modern computing innovation.

Fire up the 2013 remix of the Eagles "Desperado". Listen to the beat: That's 60 beats per minute, or to an engineer, 1 Hertz (Hz). Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" is around twice that. It sounds fast, but ...

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 ...

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 ...

RISC-V’s expanding role in AI is not a rejection of incumbent architectures, which continue to deliver performance and ...

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 ...

Intel's 2026 calendar is busy. Between the refreshed Arrow Lake desktop CPU, new data center processors, the Arc C-series graphics cards, and the Panther Lake mobile SoC, Team Blue's newest tech will ...

Processors Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X2 chip gets tested in games and unsurprisingly can't keep up with Intel's mighty Panther Lake APU Processors More details of an extra big Intel Nova Lake 'bLLC' ...

The release of next-gen gaming CPUs is inherently tied to the development of new breakthroughs in CPU manufacturing and design. One such step towards a future Intel CPU design has seemingly been ...
