The Basics of CPU Instructions Programs are compiled into a set of low-level instructions called assembly language as part of an Instruction Set Architecture (ISA).

Although ARM CPUs have been making headway in several areas of computing over the last decade or so, the vast majority of desktop, laptop and server CPUs are still based on the x86 architecture. Ho… ...

As I’m sure many of you know, x86 architecture has been around for quite some time. It has its roots in Intel’s early 8086 processor, the first in the family. Indeed, even the original … ...

I would assume Intel is looking at Apple's ARM-based CPUs and getting a bit nervous about the rapid development in performance, while struggling to really develop the basic x86 architecture ...

Chinese processor company Loongson Technology announced that its processor instruction set architecture (ISA), LoongArch, is now supported by the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) specification, meaning ...

A CPU is a central processing unit, the brain inside a computer. Intel has dominated the CPU market for decades, selling processors based on an architecture the chipmaker owns, called x86.

Intel’s upcoming event in December will be comprised of CPU architecture and strategy disclosures. It is not a GPU-related event as recent rumors suggested.
