I keep reading here and elsewhere about how a 64 bit processor doesn't offer any inherently better performance over a 32 bit one, and that makes sense to me. Except for the case of 64 bit floating ...

Moore’s Law observes that the number of transistors doubles for the same area every two years. The relentless fulfillment of this observation has been the rallying point for those who predict that ...

Can developers utilize a 32-bit architecture with a clear upgrade path even when low power and compact size are high on the list of requirements? Arm Ltd. attempts to answer that question with its ...

SAN MATEO, Calif. — A handful of prominent vendors are about to heave 64-bit microprocessor cores into the embedded-systems market. Though SuperH, MIPS Technologies and Toshiba would like nothing more ...

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 ...

China’s Loongson Technology has designed two 64-bit, quad-core Mips processors that can also execute code based on the x86 (Intel-compatible) and ARM architectures. That’s a unique twist in the ...

CPUs that process 64 bits as a single unit, compared to 8, 16 or 32. Today's desktop and laptop computers are mostly 64-bit machines; however, there are countless 32-bit, 16-bit and 8-bit ...

Arm Holdings will unveil new plans for processing cores that support 64-bit computing within the next few weeks, and has already shown samples at private viewings, sources close to the company said at ...

Our ability to continuously shrink the features of our silicon-based processors appears to be a thing of the past, which has materials scientists considering ways to move beyond silicon. The top ...
