SAN JOSE, Calif. — Intel Corp. today (Oct. 15) described how it could combine four Itanium 2 cores that share a large cache memory to create a processor with more than 1 billion transistors. In a ...

We were complaining a few weeks ago that Intel had not put out a server processor roadmap of any substance in a long time, and instead of just leaving it at that, we created our own Xeon SP roadmap ...

The new Wafer Scale Engine (WSE) was unveiled at Hot Chips 2020, with Cerebras using TSMC's new 7nm process to cram the 850,000 cores onto the 2.6 trillion transistors. The previous-gen WSE had 1.2 ...

For any given processor it’s generally easy to find a statistic on the number of transistors used to construct it, with the famous Intel 8086 CPU generally said to contain 29,000 transistors. This is ...

It's hard to overemphasize how far computers have come and how they have transformed just about every aspect of our lives. From rudimentary devices like toasters to cutting-edge devices like ...

Cerebras CS-1 is actually quite small considering its processing power, with the 26-inch-tall PC packing an insane 400,000 cores and an even crazier 1.2 trillion transistors. The 400,000-core ...

In a wide-ranging briefing given the day before Tuesday's start of the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, Intel gave some details of the smorgasbord of techniques and innovations it claims will ...

If you weren’t already convinced the digital world is taking over, you probably are now. To keep the economy on life support as people stay home to stem the viral tide, we’ve been forced to digitize ...

As you probably know, processors – and most other digital technology – are made up of transistors. The simplest way to think of a transistor is as a controllable switch with three pins. When the gate ...

Intel's working on a generation of CPU architecture that promises to be "significantly bigger… and closer to the linear curve on performance" than its current Sunny Cove design. That would presumably ...
