When you're comparing two of the best CPUs, the first spec that comes to mind is clock speed. It quite literally represents how fast the CPU can churn through clock cycles, and naturally, you'd assume ...

A new AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D benchmark leak appears to show the new gaming CPU running at a much faster clock speed than its predecessor, the 7800X3D. Despite the gaming prowess provided by its AMD 3D ...

The question I hear over and over from readers and friends goes something like this: "I need a computer for running Microsoft Office and browsing the Web, not much else. How fast of a processor should ...

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 ...

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.

Just wondering if there is a table somewhere that shows (approx) relative single-threaded performance of various processors through the years if they were clocked the same. e.g. Sitting near me is a ...

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

More evidence is mounting about clock speeds for Intel Arrow Lake CPUs, and it looks as though the company is taking a much more conservative approach to megahertz with its forthcoming desktop ...

I have a 2014 15” MacBook Pro and am idly speculating some of the configs on the new 13” and 16” models. The processor in my 15” is a 2.8 GHz quad-core i7 (the “Haswell” generation). The new 13” can ...

One often overlooked component of any great gaming PC is the CPU. While shiny new graphics cards get all the attention, the CPU is just as important, as it determines how fast your computer is.

Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX8649, a 1.8 A, synchronous, fixed-frequency, dc-dc step-down converter in a tiny, 4 mm2 wafer-level package (WLP). Maxim Integrated Products introduces the ...
