Forward-looking: After being beaten by AMD in introducing the first, truly 64-bit instruction set in the x86 CPU world, Intel is now trying to get ahead of its historical competitor by working on a ...

Would you believe that you can take a relatively-modern Intel or AMD computer and install regular old MS-DOS on it? Well, you can (depending somewhat on the machine). Doing so will utterly waste the ...

At the Intel Developer Forum, Pat Gelsinger, Intel senior vice president and general manager of the Digital Enterprise group, said the Santa Clara, Calif. chipmaker is busy developing new instruction ...

TL;DR: Intel and AMD have jointly advanced the x86 instruction set with new standards like FRED, AVX10, ChkTag, and ACE to enhance latency, security, throughput, and compatibility across devices from ...

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 ...

In the face of growing competition from Arm-based chip designers, the rival CPU companies say several tech giants—including Microsoft, Dell Technologies, Lenovo and HP Inc.—are joining their new ...

This article is part of the TechXchange—RISC-V: The Instruction-Set Alternative. Intel is boosting efforts to become a top contract chip maker with a new wave of ecosystem investments. The Santa Clara ...
