One of the key characteristics of most Ryzen "X3D" processors with AMD's 3D V-Cache tech, is that they offer reduced clock rates compared to the same CPU without it. The cut to clock rates was larger ...

When you're comparing two of the best CPUs, the first spec that comes to mind is clock speed. It quite literally represents how fast the CPU can churn through clock cycles, and naturally, you'd assume ...

The Loongson 3A6000 CPU demonstrates an Instruction-Per-Clock (IPC) rate on par with AMD's Zen 4 and Intel's Raptor Lake architectures. However, its lower clock speeds and fewer cores place it at a ...

The CPU contains a clock which is used to coordinate all of the computer's components. The clock sends out a regular electrical pulse which synchronises (keeps in time) all the components. A ...

From the moment you decide that your current Intel processor just isn’t up to par and start investigating an upgrade to your current laptop or desktop, you’re often bombarded with technical jargon.

Details on the Intel Core i9 14900KS continue to spill out onto the internet, making it one of the worst kept secrets in the PC space. Now, as retailers begin to populate listings for the CPU, it's ...

Single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) instructions that can process multiple data with one instruction greatly contribute to the speedup of CPU operation. However, since SIMD instructions require a ...

The packaging for the new AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has just been leaked, and if it's genuine, it shows that both AMD and Intel are donning their goth outfits for the next generation of gaming CPU launches.
