There was once a time when a processor ran at a single, set clock speed. It ran at that speed all day, every day, unless it was purposely over or under-clocked by a user. In this simpler time there ...

A computer reduces every task to a series of calculations and the processor -- sometimes called the central processing unit -- physically carries out these calculations. In principle, the processor's ...

This all applies to GPUs as well. The architecture, which includes things like memory bandwidth or cache hierarchy, impacts ...

The performance of a business computer at everyday tasks largely depends on two factors: its processor speed and the amount of memory it has. The processor's speed comes from its clock, a timing ...

In computing, the clock speed refers to the rate at which the clock generator of a processor can formulate pulses, which synchronize the operations of its parts. Experts use Clock Speed as an ...

This isn't something I thought I'd be writing in 2016, but a team at the University of California, Davis, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering have hit a world's first. The team have ...

It’s amazing what people can do with one of AMD’s new eight-core FX processors, a specially built chassis, and a few tanks of liquid helium. In a pre-release stunt, AMD rounded up a small group of ...

Arm Holdings on Wednesday raised the clock speed of its Cortex A9 processor to 2GHz, with the aim of boosting application performance while drawing less power. Arm designs processor cores that are ...

It was just two years ago that a 1 GHz processor in your smartphone was considered a big deal, but by today's standards 1 GHz is pretty slow. Today, ARM announced that it will be ramping up clock ...

From the moment you decide that your current Intel processor just isn’t up to par and start investigating an upgrade to your current laptop or desktop, you’re often bombarded with technical jargon.

To check computer speed boost clocks, use CPU-Z (Windows) or Intel Power Gadget (Mac). This article explains how to check the base clock speed and computer speed boost clocks on Windows and Mac ...

Fixing the problem of the CPU being Stuck at low clock speed in Windows requires changes to the Power Management and Processor State settings, along with identifying software conflicts as detailed ...
