Simultaneous multi-threading is a useful performance tool for processor designers, but it doesn't have the same benefit that adding a full core does. I’ve been getting a fair number of questions about ...

With the now-shipping AMD EPYC 9006 "Venice" SP7 server processors sporting up to 256 Zen 6(C) cores per socket, or 512 cores ...

Simultaneous multithreading essentially allows a chip to run two applications, or two “threads” of the same application, at the same time–thereby reducing the time it requires to complete a task.

Ever since it became clear that AMD's Carrizo would be a mobile update with a focus on energy efficiency as opposed to raw performance, enthusiasts and investors have been hungry for details about the ...

Forward-looking: New research details a process that allows a CPU, GPU, and AI accelerator to work seamlessly in parallel on separate tasks. The pioneering breakthrough could provide blazing-fast, ...

The next generation of AMD processors could enjoy even more capable multithreaded performance with an improvement to simultaneous multithreading, called SM4. It would effectively give Zen 3-powered ...

New applications that servers must handle are often large and function-rich; they use many operating system services and access large databases. Not only does that make the instruction and data ...
