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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Explore the 2026 ARM vs x86 battle—comparing processor architecture, CPU performance, and energy efficiency to reveal which chip design leads modern computing innovation.

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 ...

The company also plans on using the tile-based architecture with Meteor Lake, a CPU family scheduled to arrive in 2023, a year before Arrow Lake. Whether Meteor Lake will mix and match Intel IP with ...

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 ...
