What's a CPU made of? What's the difference between a CPU and a GPU? Read our layman's overview of the central processing unit, or CPU.

Intel Corporation has managed to halt the quarter-over-quarter declines in two of its critical business segments. Click here for my take on INTC stock prospects.

In the 7400-series of logic chips, there are some oddballs; the 7447 seven-segment display driver is useful, but the 74881 ALU and 74361 bubble memory timing generator aren’t exactly something ...

However, the chip’s logic design and layout were supposed to have started in October 1969 and samples for all four chips were due by July 1970. But by April, that work had yet to begin.

The 4004 integrated the different CPU components into one 2,300-transistor chip. 4004 wasn't just a new direction for the computer industry; it was also a new direction for Intel.

The building of linear, passive, and ultracompact silicon optical logic gates might pave the way to construct novel nanophotonic on-chip processor architectures for future optical computing ...

Among the most popular on-chip macros are microprocessor cores, preferred because there are ten times more programmers than logic designers and because programming is a higher-level abstraction ...

Intel beefed up servers based on dual-Xeon configurations with the two versions of its long-anticipated Lindenhurst chip sets and a storage I/O processor.

While chiplets have been around for decades, today they are the hottest trend in chip making powering millions of devices from PCs, to servers, phones and wearables.
