or any one of the other really beefy CPU architectures out there. Superscalars are great for general purpose computing, but their performance per watt dollar is abysmal in comparison to a DSP.

Ethernet uses a serial bus architecture. The I/O bus from the CPU to the peripherals is a parallel bus (16, 32 or 64 wires, etc.). Although sounding similar, a serial bus differs from a serial port.

Although the ability to expand a home computer with more RAM ... alternative to IBM’s proprietary Micro Channel architecture (MCA) bus. MCA itself was envisioned by IBM as the replacement ...

rather than on pure CPU speed [2]. The most widely adopted interconnected architecture for the SOC IP blocks is still bus-based. Some semiconductor vendors have developed several on-chip bus ...

Now, Intel is starting to at least think about developing a CPU architecture that just runs 64-bit apps and operating systems. The company quietly posted an update to its webpage with info ...

Furthermore the SW performance is heavily affected by the communication and memory architecture, so an isolated consideration of a single processor may hide potential bottlenecks due to bus ...

Released in 1979, this was the first major CPU that Intel produced ... was the use of a full 16-bit internal architecture but mated with an 8-bit data bus. Without the 8088 we wouldn't have ...

At the center of the Magnetar MC16R7 is AMD’s range-topping Ryzen 9 7950X. This potent 16-core processor uses AMD’s latest ...

The CPU's clock speed, along with the speed of storage, RAM and input/output (the peripheral bus) all play roles in a computer's performance (see throughput). In many cases, the perceived ...

I2C was created by Phillip Semiconductors in 1980 to reduce cost by simplifying the interface for connecting a central ...
