Intel researches how to wed memory chips and processor cores, yielding impressive gains in speed and efficiency.

With the particular needs of scientists and engineers in mind, researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest ...

Your computer's central processing unit is the "brain" that controls all operations inside the machine. The computer's random access memory helps the CPU keep things moving smoothly and quickly.

A CPU, or Central Processing Unit, is often called the brain of a computer, but what exactly does it do? In this video, we ...

A very common question I am asked is which is more important, the speed of the processor or the amount memory. This is a difficult question to answer and it would help if we had some understanding ...

In a single memory access, the Automata Processor is able to execute nearly 50,000 independent comparison operations. Furthermore, the results from these operations are automatically delivered to the ...

TSV could be used in a variety of chips, not just the 80-core monster. As a result, computer makers, when building a system, would get their memory when they bought their processors from Intel.

Processor Speed Vs. Memory. The performance of a business computer at everyday tasks largely depends on two factors: its processor speed and the amount of memory it has. The processor's speed ...

It puts the processor and main memory on the same chip. "Our processors live in the middle of the data," Fish says. "We don't have to go get it. We don't have to go off chip." ...

Other systems, like the extremely power-efficient neuron, mix processing and memory in individual cells. That has inspired some computer scientists to try to figure out if we could do the same.
