Since 2005, computer CPU chip makers have increasingly adopted the use of multiple cores to increase performance. Each core runs a separate computing task, so the computer gets more work done. Before ...

Improvements in silicon process technology — 130 to 90 to 65 nm — have brought system-on-chip (SoC) devices with multiple embedded processors to mainstream applications ranging from consumer-level ...

Just in time for the launch of Intel's QX6700 Quad Core processor, Valve Software held their third Hardware Editor's Day in beautiful Bellevue, Washington USA. The subject of Multi-Core processing was ...

Software development for embedded multi-core processors is considered to require a large expenditure and to be difficult. Researchers have now developed a new integrated tool chain to facilitate ...

"Why Apps Can't Run Faster" explained that just putting more and more cores in chips doesn't increase the processing speed of applications. This is because applications aren't typically designed to ...

CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the most important part of a computer. All the calculations needed to run a particular task or application on a computer are processed by the CPU. That’s why it is ...

The first smartphones with dual-core processors reached the market in 2010. Before that smartphones used single-core processors maxing out at around 1.4GHz. Since then the number of cores has grown ...

Multi-core technology is now coming to work for microcontroller designs. These designs offer higher performance and throughput capabilities for microcontrollers, and sometimes bring real time and ...

In this article, we’re going to discuss these questions. First of all, let us make it clear that Windows 11/10 is already configured for multi-core support. The setting for the second processor is ...
