- A comparison of quad-core server CPUs
- For anyone looking to buy a workstation or server CPU, quad-core CPUs have become mainstream. Therefore it's important to know what you're getting for the money so I've compiled a chart with general purpose computing performance using the SPEC CPU database with the highest scores as of December 28,...

- Bias is a wonderful thing
- When Theo de Raadt went public last week with comments about bugs in the Intel Core Duo I believed everything he said - and for two reasons:(1) he's the key developer for OpenBSD - the most security aware small systems Unix available - and therefore highly credible on...

- AMD Phenom X4 9850
- From a do-it-yourself perspective, we're mostly unimpressed with AMD's new 2.5GHz Phenom X4 9850 quad-core desktop processor. This $235 CPU comes in only $10 less than Intel's comparable quad-core chip, but with noticeably slower performance on almost every one of our tests. Even the new Phenom's unlocked multiplier, which enables...

- Intel moving to six-cores this year; What will you do with them?
- Intel outlined plans to produce six-core chips in the fourth quarter. The move is that latest salvo in a game to out-core AMD on everything. AMD finally gets its quad-core chip out the door and Intel moves to six. The future looks like this: Four cores, six cores, eight cores,...

- Leaked Intel Nehalem performance projections over AMD Shanghai
- It appears that the rumors about Intel's next major microprocessor "Nehalem" being a huge juggernaut may be true according to leaked documents from Sun Microsystems removed Sunday night. The slides appear to be inadvertently placed on Sun's publicly accessible website and "jokerman" posted the link on Aceshardware (thanks to tip...

- Beware of flawed CPU efficiency study
- Update 2/22/2008 - I originally used the word "rigged" to describe Neal Nelson's study. My reasoning for using the word "rigged" was due to the fact that the test platforms used in Nelson's study painted an inaccurate picture. Nelson's study omitted two generations of Intel products while including...

- Hands-on with the AMD Spider - Phenom 9700, 790 chipset and Radeon 3850 graphics
- A few days before Christmas I got my hands on an AMD "Spider" Phenom 9700-based system. Since my head was ringing to the tune of "Jingle Bells" at the time, and because I had troubles downloading a needed BIOS update, all this conspired to mean that I didn't really get...

- Improving TLB Energy for Java Applications on JVM
- Java platforms are widely deployed and used ranging from ultra-mobile embedded devices to servers for their portability and security. The TLB, a content addressable memory, can consume a significant power in these systems due to the nature of its associative search mechanism. This paper proposes and investigates three different optimizations...

- High-Bandwidth Address Translation for Multiple-Issue Processors
- In an effort to push the envelope of system performance, microprocessor designs are continually exploiting higher levels of instruction-level parallelism, resulting in increasing bandwidth demands on the address translation mechanism. Most current microprocessor designs meet this demand with a multi-ported TLB. While this design provides an excellent hit rate at...
