In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

Every computing device from simple toys to large business systems have an essential component called the central processing unit. The CPU performs calculations, makes logical comparisons and moves ...

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 comes from its clock, a timing ...

In this post, we will explain what is a computer CPU pipeline. CPU (an abbreviation of the Central Processing Unit) is an important part of the computer that functions like a brain. And we already ...

If you’re just learning about the world of computers and electronics, the terminology used to refer to different parts can be confusing. One component term you may have encountered is “CPU,” which ...

Big Blue reveals its new 7nm Power10 server CPU, which enables servers to share multiple petabytes of memory. ‘Instead of having to put a lot of memory into every box, I could actually plug in a more ...

Apple's UMA design -- a single, fixed pool of RAM integrated into the die with the CPU, GPU and NPU -- makes Mac and MacBook configuration choices a little different than it used to be.

Microsoft has detailed a new feature coming to its Chromium-based Edge browser that should improve CPU performance, reduce memory use and extend a computer's battery life. Microsoft reports that early ...
