The latest Starfield update is yet to go live for all players but those willing and brave enough to try it early can do now do so and may find their frame rates are higher than usual. This is thanks to some further post-launch optimizations made by ...

CPU design has been undergoing something of a shake-up recently, what with the addition of NPUs into the mix and some radical configurations and chip construction techniques to optimise them. Flow Computing, however, has an even more radical suggestion.

Intel has introduced Continuous Profiler, an open-source optimization tool developed by Intel Granulate, aimed at improving CPU performance by identifying inefficiencies in real-time. The tool is designed to assist developers, performance engineers, and ...

Intel has dropped a surprise bonus feature for owners of its Intel Core Ultra 200 series CPUs. The new Intel 200S Boost feature will be available via a motherboard BIOS update and can increase CPU and memory frequencies in one click, all while maintaining ...

Among AMD’s explanations for the somewhat underwhelming Ryzen 9000 performance reports from reviewers earlier this month: that the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 update would bring some improvements to the CPU scheduler that would boost the performance of the ...

The very first Geekbench 6 benchmarks of the MacBook Pro with M3 processor have started to appear in the Geekbench 6 database. What they show is a processor whose higher CPU performance is almost entirely owed to an increase in clock speed over the M2.

Benchmarks giving an early look at the performance of the Apple M4 processor in the 2024 iPad Pro reveal that the new chip is 21% faster than its predecessor. The processor launched in the latest iPad but is expected to make its way to Mac later this year.

Microsoft is making significant enhancements to a core Windows 11 security feature, bringing performance improvements of up to 70%.

Multi-core processors theoretically can run many threads of code in parallel, but some categories of operation currently bog down attempts to raise overall performance by parallelizing computing. Is it time to have accelerators for running highly parallel ...
