The Android operating system is built to run on three different types of processor architecture: Arm, Intel x86, and MIPS. The former is today’s ubiquitous architecture after Intel abandoned its ...

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 ...

For office use the standard is x86 technology, but what about for industrial applications? If you take into consideration factors of performance, power and temperature range, could other architectures ...

Chinese CPU designer Loongson Technology is seen as China's representative to challenge international mainstream instruction set architectures (ISAs), Intel's x86 and Arm, with its own LoongArch ...

While the x86 architecture certainly isn’t going away anytime soon, it seems that each year more and more of our computing is done on ARM processors. It started with our smartphones, spread into ...

Qualcomm has its Snapdragon X processors already on the market inside of AI PCs that manufacturers, including Microsoft, Acer, ASUS, Dell, Lenovo, HP, Samsung, and more have laptops with Qualcomm's ...

A new paper from the University of Wisconsin tackles the question of whether ARM or x86 is more power efficient with updated processors and results from China's Loongson processor. Does ISA still ...

Microsoft has released an update for its Prism emulator that adds support for x86 apps that require AVX and AVX2 extensions, ...

A new instruction set by the original creator of MIPS aims to reinvent the ultra-low power, high-efficiency processor -- and to do so with an architecture that's fundamentally open and available to ...

Over at the Macintoshian Achaia section of the forum, there is quite some talk about the (assumed) impending move from Intel CPUs to Apple's own ARM CPUs to power the Mac. A lot of people assume that ...
