In 2008, Intel clearly thought it had created something unique with the Intel Atom processor. It was a chip not meant for speed, but efficiency. Intel would use the Atom to carve out a whole new segment of personal computing. The company called them Mobile Internet Devices, Ultra Mobile PCs, netbooks. It didn’t quite work …

ARM Announces 64-bit Cortex A50 Series
ARM. I use these three letters a lot around here. Probably to the degree that it has overshadowed any talk of Intel, AMD or NVidia anymore. Advanced RISC Machines is a British outfit that began as a fluke, but it’s fascinating. Another British computer maker from the 80s called Acorn needed a processor for a …

Intel Ushers in 22nm Silicon with Ivy Bridge
Yesterday, Intel released the first of their long-awaited 2012 processors, known as Ivy Bridge. Ever since the release of the Core 2 processor in 2007, Intel has taken a more rapid approach to the development of their processors. This cycle is called the “tick-tock” approach. “Tocks” are where Intel releases a completely new architecture, as …

Intel Reveals Its Future Now
It’s been an interesting couple of weeks over at Intel. I had meant to do a write-up on all this breaking info weeks ago, but it kind of got away from me. Consider this my catch-up post. Intel debuted some interesting new technology a few weeks ago that will radically change the performance and energy …

Intel’s Tablet Solution is Too Little Too Late
Intel’s Atom processor has seen a tumultuous but brief history in the CPU space. Designated as Intel’s super efficient and extremely small chip solution, many figured Atom would be Intel’s way into the tablet and smartphone space. But after 4 years Atom remains out of that space, completely dominated by ARM. Instead, Atom got its …

Apple Crosses the Sandy Bridge to New Macbooks
Last year, Intel unveiled the Intel 2010 Mobile processors in January, yet it took Apple 4 months to adopt the new chips in their mobile front. Not only that, but their lower end notebooks remained stuck in the geriatric world of the Core 2 Duo. It was a frustrating thing to watch as Apple’s counterparts …

Fusion: AMD and ATI’s First Child
You know, I’ve talked often about Intel on this site, but almost never about the other x86 chip maker: AMD. This is because really, there hasn’t been a lot to talk about. Since 2007, AMD has been in a rut. The company released the K-10 based Phenom processors against Intel’s Core 2 line. While Phenom …
