The Android operating system is built to run on three different types of processor architecture: Arm, Intel x86, and MIPS. The former is today’s ubiquitous architecture after Intel abandoned its ...

With ARM processors increasingly becoming part of the desktop ecosystem, porting code that was written for x86_64 platforms is both necessary and a massive undertaking. For many codebases a simple ...

ARM's Cortex-A15 is shipping, courtesy of Samsung's new Chromebook, and the chip looks strong. Its impact on the performance market, however, will depend on power consumption in the relevant spaces.

In case you are unaware, MediaTek holds the Top position in the global smartphone processor market with a 35% market share (as of Q3 2024). Qualcomm follows in second place, having a 25% market share.

When Qualcomm launched its Snapdragon X series processors, it didn't just release a single chip but gave us an entire range of ARM-based CPUs designed to challenge the traditional x86 dominance in ...

AMD is plotting a CPU based on the Arm rather than x86 instruction set. So goes the rumour and so has it gone for literally decades. Actually, it's more than just a rumour, since AMD announced an Arm ...

Advanced Micro Devices is taking steps to bridge the gap between x86 and ARM processors, and hopes to build a foundation from which programs will operate on mobile devices like tablets independent of ...

In a nutshell: Mountain View has officially joined the custom-CPU crowd by showing off its first "general-purpose" processor. The Google Axion chip leverages the Arm architecture to provide ...

The foundation of Axion lies in Arm’s Neoverse V2 CPU cores, specifically designed to excel in general-purpose workloads. Google has further enhanced Axion with their custom silicon microcontrollers, ...

In the gold rush for wearables, the key to success is invisibility and long battery life. ARM is pursuing the development of tiny processors that fit the profile. The new CPUs and microcontrollers are ...
