It’s been almost two years since AMD introduced its Ryzen 7000 series desktop CPUs and the Zen 4 CPU architecture. Today, AMD is announcing the first concrete details about their successors. The Ryzen ...

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

Nvidia (NVDA) debuts Groq 3 LPU and Vera CPU at GTC 2026, expanding beyond GPUs to challenge Intel and AMD in AI data centers with new inference technology.

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 ...

Nvidia announced BlueField-4 STX at GTC 2026 on March 16, a modular reference architecture for accelerated storage designed to address the data access bottleneck limiting agentic AI inference.

In just a week, we went from only having one option for AI PCs, or what Microsoft calls Copilot+PC, to three. At Computex, Intel announced the new Core Ultra system-on-chip (SoC) codenamed Lunar Lake ...

The design, verification, and implementation of a processor is the core competence of some companies, but others just want to whip up a small processor as quickly and cheaply as possible. What tools ...

When it comes to PCs, Westerners are most most familiar with x86/x64 processors from Intel and AMD, with Apple Silicon taking up a significant market share, too. However, in China, a relatively new ...

In this installment we will investigate how a cloud processing system is structured to address and react to artificial intelligence technologies; how a GPU and CPU (central processing unit) compare ...

Optimizing any system is a multi-layered problem, but when it involves a processor there are at least three levels to consider. Architects must be capable of thinking across these boundaries because ...
