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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Arm was founded as a company 35 years ago. It rules mobility and is gaining client share, but the enterprise seems out of ...

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 ...

Processors featuring the free RISC-V architecture account for $52 bln in sales, or just a tenth of the total. That’s set to ...
