Moore's law has defined processor development for decades. Intel co-founder Gordon Moore's edict, however, is sometimes inaccurately portrayed as saying that processors double in speed every few years ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 18, 2005 – Intel Corporation announced that computer manufacturers Alienware*, Dell* and Velocity Micro* today started selling desktop PCs and workstations based on Intel’s ...

The benefits of dual-core will be obvious to builders who love to multitask. With a dual-processor system installed, it means there&'s a second processor core to share the load. For instance, if one ...

Dual-core processors--those with two processing engines--hit the mainstream in 2005. For years, chipmakers improved chips by increasing clock speeds. But physics and engineering problems put a stop to ...

Dual-processor machines have been a constant part of the Mac landscape since Apple put a pair of 500MHz G4 chips into a Power Mac back in 2000. But that landscape shifted Wednesday when Apple ...

On a dual-core processor, you can entirely disable the second core through the System Configuration menu or partially disable it using processor affinity options. System Configuration lets you set how ...

Much has been made of efforts by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Intel Corp. to bring dual-core processors to PCs and servers. Yesterday, Freescale Semiconductor Inc. revealed details of a dual-core ...

Hey everybody. Got me this old SGI 320 which I like a lot. Running windows 2000 with a p3 800 and 512 megs RAM. Seemed to me it might be a curiosity to add a second processor to help with some of the ...

I'm considering buying a server board that has two CPU sockets, but I don't want to afford both CPUs right now. Is that a problem? Can I just add in the other CPU later like adding extra memory DIMMs?

A couple of days ago, I wrote an article about my reasons for choosing modern hardware instead of old server parts going forward. In fact, I’ve already started using my repertoire of SBCs, mini-PCs, ...

Hewlett-Packard Co. next month will begin shipping a new multiprocessor daughtercard that will double the number of Itanium 2 processors supported by its Integrity servers. The mx2 dual-processor ...
