China’s Loongson Technology has designed two 64-bit, quad-core Mips processors that can also execute code based on the x86 (Intel-compatible) and ARM architectures. That’s a unique twist in the ...

The ARM Cortex™-M3 processor is the industry-leading 32-bit processor for highly deterministic real-time applications, specifically developed to enable partners to develop high-performance low-cost ...

NXP Semiconductors has unveiled what it calls the world’s smallest and lowest-power 64-bit ARM processor for the Internet of Things (IoT). The tiny QorIQ LS1012A delivers networking-grade security and ...

If you have never heard of the Bellmac-32, you aren’t alone. But it is a good bet that most, if not all, of the CPUs in your devices today use technology pioneered by this early 32-bit CPU. The chip ...

Building a functioning 16-bit processor or CPU inside Microsoft Excel, with its own memory, output, and custom assembly language, is an impressive - if not entirely useful - feat. This is because ...

Hi everyone! Have you heard of the brand new 8-bit computer built from (mostly) off-the-shelf parts called Commander X16 made by a team of people under The 8-Bit Guy (David Murray)? If so what are ...

Officially, Intel’s Itanium chips and their IA-64 architecture died back in 2021, when the company shipped its last processors. But failed technology often dies a million little deaths. To name just a ...

Eric Foote is considering 64-bit Windows servers for his growing base of 4,500 users. But he’s in no big rush to make the shift from 32-bit computing. His first target application is Presentation ...

Why it matters: As you can probably attest, modern wearables can be slapped on a wrist or slotted in an ear without a problem. But they're not subtle enough, neither in their design or cost, to be ...
