CPU
Japanese NEC announced that it has succeeded in the development of multicore processor technology capable of performing automatic multithreading without the need to adapt software. According to the company, it is based on an automatic compiler, which uses profile information of applications to exploit parallelization patterns. With NEC’s method, a program would run 2.83 times faster on four processors, compared to a single one, while a recompiled software would perform only 1.95 times faster.

Intel and Qinetic design cooler transistor
Author: Rodrigo Chia Date: December 7, 2005 - 8:28 AM PST
Category: CPU
CPU
Intel and Qinetiq are introducing this week, at the International Electron Devices Meeting, in Washington, a prototype transistor capable of revolutionizing the industry. The main difference in relation to traditional designs it the use of indium antimonide instead of silicon in the transistor’s channel. This, according to the companies, guarantees a tenfold reduction in power consumption and a 50% gain in performance. Chips based on the new transistors, however, will not be available before 2015.
