The company folds a 36-core processor into its lineup and says its updated 64-core chip has twice the speed of the first-generation chip. Brooke Crothers writes about mobile computer systems, ...

Intel is about to launch its 16-threaded (but 8-core) processor in September, and while that is for consumers, what is being played with behind closed doors in experiments is incredibly exciting - ...

Multicore processor specialist Tilera has returned with a new "manycore" offering, the 36 and 16-core TILE-Gx 64-bit processors, promising grunt in line with the top-spec chips from Intel and AMD yet ...

While the number of cores on a central processing unit (CPU) are often synonymous with processing capacity, one cannot simply increase the number of processing units and call it a day. Scalable ...

36-core processors may soon be a reality as a team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology make advances in their design. Their aim is to create processors that deliver more ...

The more cores -- or processing units -- a computer chip has, the bigger the problem of communication between cores becomes. Some have argued that the massively multicore chips of the future will need ...

With next week’s Mobile World Congress focused on mobility and CPUs that use less power than a phone charger, sometimes it’s good to get a little red meat to cleanse your palette. Fortunately that’s ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a 36-core processor in an effort to find new ways to eke more performance out of chips. The chip is designed to reduce the ...
