What is a CPU? That's not an existential question, but your device would be lost without it. Here's what it does and why picking the right one is so important.

You may notice a CPU OPT connector on your motherboard. Although its function appears clear at first glance, its exact function remains a mystery for many users.

Undervolting your processor (CPU) can bring huge benefits but it has to be done correctly for your PC to function well. Check out our guide to CPU undervolting.

In this research, NTT proposed a specific cache random function SCARF, designed using the Enc-then-Dec model. The design of SCARF takes advantage of NTT's long-standing expertise in symmetric-key ...

NTT developed a dedicated cache random function. This contributes to the realization of a highly secure CPU that prevents data leakage due to attacks.

A 10-wide CPU has 10 groups of function units available, and which group gets the instruction depends on what the instruction is. In the fictitious example in Figure 4, each group has two function ...

Activation functions play a critical role in AI inference, helping to ferret out nonlinear behaviors in AI models. This makes them an integral part of any neural network, but nonlinear functions can ...

In short, clock frequencies say little about how fast a CPU functions. When measuring a CPU, many experts attempt to read the millions of instructions per second, or MIPS.

The CPU is the core component that defines a computing device, and while it is of critical importance, the CPU can only function alongside other hardware.
