MIPS Technologies has added a number of enhancements to its base architecture that make its embedded microprocessors look more like microcontrollers. The main additions have been used in ...

When we learn about the internals of a microprocessor, we are shown a diagram that resembles the 8-bit devices of the 1970s. There will be an ALU, a program counter, a set of registers, and address… ...

The RM9150 microprocessor provides powerful processing power while also enabling low system Bill-of-Materials (BOM) costs, compact board space and low power dissipation. PMC-Sierra's MIPS-based SoC ...

In the beginning. Intel’s first microprocessor was the 4-bit 4004, which was made for a Japanese calculator in 1971. That was quickly followed by the 8-bit 8008 and in 1975 by the 8-bit 8080 chip.

The shift from Arm to RISC-V microprocessor cores marks a significant change for Qualcomm and a huge design win for the RISC-V architecture.

ARM has introduced its first 64-bit microprocessor architecture, ARMv8, which should enable wider use of ARM chips in servers and other enterprise equipment and turn up the competitive heat on Intel.

ARM has announced the latest entry in its Cortex-M line, which it claims is the world’s most energy efficient microprocessor. The Cortex-M0+ is the successor to the Cortex-M0, which was notable ...

AheadComputing today announced it has secured $21.5M in seed funding to rapidly develop and commercialize its breakthrough microprocessor architecture designed to meet the new, unique computing ...

The UltraJava chip, later renamed Microprocessor Architecture for Java Computing (MAJC), was a multicore CPU targeted for desktop use, incorporating some of the same 3D graphics processing Sun ...

The Beaverton startup says it has a new microprocessor architecture that can reduce bottlenecks in central processing units, the brains inside computers, and enable faster, more energy-efficient ...
