AMD has officially launched its high-end Ryzen 9000 CPUs: the Ryzen 9 9950X, 9900X, 9700X, and 9600X. They offer the pinnacle of performance for the AM5 platform, aside from gaming, where the Zen 4 V-Cache CPUs still rule the roost. As part of the Ryzen ...

If your handheld runs hot or drains battery quickly, turning off CPU Boost could help deliver smoother performance in demanding modern games.

Intel launches Core Ultra Series 3 "Panther Lake" mobile chips, promising big gains in CPU, graphics, and efficiency

Although Moore’s Law has slowed at bit as chip makers reach the physical limits of transistor size, researchers are having to look to other things other than cramming more transistors on a chip to increase CPU performance. ARM is having a bit of a moment ...

Big quote: Finnish state-owned startup Flow Computing claims that its new hardware can boost any processor's speed by orders of magnitude through parallel processing. The technology is supposedly scalable across most devices, architectures, and software.

CPU design has been undergoing something of a shake-up recently, what with the addition of NPUs into the mix and some radical configurations and chip construction techniques to optimise them. Flow Computing, however, has an even more radical suggestion.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Plus SoC is poised to be a huge boon for budget PCs, offering better performance and energy efficiency.
