Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has long been one of the world’s largest consumers of supercomputing capacity. With computing power of more than 200 petaflops, or 200 billion floating-point ...

Today, Google and Qualcomm announced an extension of their partnership to bring RISC-V-based systems-on-chips (SoCs) to market with support for Wear OS, a version of Android for smartwatches and ...

At GTC 2026, Nvidia launched the Vera CPU, a processor built specifically to meet the growing demands of agentic AI. Vera is ...

Discussions about CPUs often frame one instruction set architecture (ISA) against another—x86 vs. Arm, Arm vs. RISC-V, and so on. However, it’s common to use multiple CPU architectures in a single ...

The chip is the first universal RISC-V processor to replace the stack of specialized processors used in modern embedded ...

Chip design firm SiFive has raised $175 million at a $2.5 billion as RISC-V emerges as an alternative processor architecture. The funding comes at a time when RISC-V is showing greater momentum as an ...

Researchers from Yokohama National University in Japan have developed a prototype microprocessor using superconductor devices that are about 80 times more energy efficient than the state-of-the-art ...

Recent advances in microprocessor architecture and performance are giving federal agencies reasons to take a second look at upgrading their legacy infrastructure, rather than just moving their ...

Adding network services in a secure fashion to today's network infrastructure requires deploying a large number of separate devices. These can include a Layer 4+ switch, an anti-spam gateway, firewall ...

Thirty years ago, on June 8, 1978, Intel Corp. introduced its first 16-bit microprocessor, the 8086, with a splashy ad heralding “the dawn of a new era.” Overblown? Sure, but also prophetic. While the ...
