This application note describes ways to estimate power dissipation of individual CMOS logic devices in a system. It will help users determine if their designs raise any power dissipation concerns. Due ...

Apple shifts chip power from CPUs toward GPUs and memory for better balance Efficiency gains plateau for CPUs while GPU and ...

The Balanced Technology Extended (BTX) interface specification was developed by Intel to provide standard interfaces and form factors in an effort to address the thermal and acoustical issues ...

The motherboard takes a full-size 24-pin ATX power link from the power supply, which handles most functions on the PC. Still, ...

Renesas Technology is developing a new CISC CPU architecture that will provide significant enhancements over 16-bit M16C and H8S CPUs and 32-bit R32C and H8SX CPUs microcontrollers in code efficiency, ...

Of all the metrics we commonly discuss at ExtremeTech, we'd argue TDP (Thermal Design Power) is easily the worst. If clock speed, core counts, IPC, and memory bandwidth are imperfect methods of ...

I recently upgraded my silent-cool system with an P3-550 and a Erazor-II.<P>Slightly overkill, and it did not really improve my internet experience View image ...

Posting in C&CF because this has more to do with cooling than CPU technology.<BR><BR>I'm trying to find the desktop CPU with the lowest idle power consumption/cooling requirements, for a streaming ...

ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, and the IEEE Computer Society have named Margaret Martonosi, the Hugh Trumbull Adams '35 Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University, as the ...
