So then a really really great idea came to my mind; why not design a multi-CPU motherboard that can use normal Xeon Ex 1xxx CPUs or Core ix cpus? Instead of through the QPI links the CPUs are tied ...

Basically, we couldn't figure out, why aren't dual-CPU motherboards more common? My co-worker pointed out that you can buy an i9-9900k for $500, give or take. That's an 8/16 CPU. But you could buy an ...

Since 2005, computer CPU chip makers have increasingly adopted the use of multiple cores to increase performance. Each core runs a separate computing task, so the computer gets more work done. Before ...

Dual core processors work best when software can run in parallel on them. So-called 'multithreaded applications' benefit from an additional CPU core because subroutines can be allocated to different ...

A reader recently contacted us and asked a question worth answering in an article. How does Windows (and perhaps all OS's) take advantage of multiple cores? Alternatively, if this function is built ...

After a decade of fielding ho-hum FX-series processors, AMD’s finally released its highly disruptive Ryzen chips, throwing down the gauntlet and challenging Intel’s supremacy in high-end computing.

Two of the basic components in any computer are the motherboard and the central processing unit. Both perform processes vital to running the computer's operating system and programs -- the motherboard ...
