In this post, we will explain what is a computer CPU pipeline. CPU (an abbreviation of the Central Processing Unit) is an important part of the computer that functions like a brain. And we already ...

Security researchers have found new a new way to bypass existing hardware-based defenses for speculative execution in modern computer processors from Intel, AMD, and Arm. Today, the three CPU ...

x86, the mainstream instruction set architecture for PC CPUs, originated from the Intel 8086 processor and has been in use for 46 years. Technology blog Hackaday claims that x86 will be extinct in the ...

Computer scientists at MIT have developed a 110-core CPU chip based on a new architecture in which, instead of bringing data across the chip to the core that happens to want it, the program is moved ...

The researchers "conclude that at least 40% of the x86 ISA, even after excluding multimedia extensions, could be emulated ...

The registers inside the CPU, the machine code instruction set, and the ways in which the instructions interact with the registers and status flags are all intertwined. As you may recall, one of my ...

Intel has fixed a high-severity CPU vulnerability in its modern desktop, server, mobile, and embedded CPUs, including the latest Alder Lake, Raptor Lake, and Sapphire Rapids microarchitectures.

A technical paper titled “Constable: Improving Performance and Power Efficiency by Safely Eliminating Load Instruction Execution” was published by researchers at ETH Zürich and Intel Corporation. This ...

Some microprocessors from Intel and AMD are vulnerable to a newly discovered speculative execution attack that can covertly leak password data and other sensitive material, sending both chipmakers ...
