CPU-Z is a hardware information tool from a company called CPUID, not to be confused with the CPUID instruction. Besides showing basic CPU, motherboard, and memory information, CPU-Z features a built-in benchmark. While the benchmark isn't its primary function, it has made its way into some reviews, as well as AMD's slides. Its free, accessible…

On Saturday night, a St. Petersburg woman was arrested and charged with a DUI, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Intro and lots of context   Intel recently unveiled the AVX10 specification as means for consolidating the vast majority of AVX-512 extensions into a single, easy-to-target specification. It aims to solve a few issues, among which is the startling array of configurations, targets, and spaghetti of AVX-512 implementations with disjointed instructions support. Lest we forget, it…

Arm's 5-series line moves slowly. The Cortex A53 and A55 each served across multiple generations of 7-series companions, and both were 2-wide in-order cores running at low clocks. When your architecture is only expected to handle non-demanding background tasks, you don't need to push the performance envelope. But as Arm evolved the ARM instruction set,…

AMD didn't present a lot of new info about the Zen 4 core at their Hot Chips 2023 presentation. Uops.info has measured execution throughput and latency for instructions on Zen 4. We've dug deep into Zen 4's microarchitecture in a set of articles as well. However, the Zen 4 core architecture is still an important…

ARM's Neoverse N1 was based on ARM's Cortex A76 mobile core, but enhancements like instruction cache coherency and 48-bit physical addressing made it usable in servers. The result was quite successful and gave ARM a foothold in the server marketplace. Graviton 2 implemented Neoverse N1 on Amazon Web Services, while Ampere Altra found a place…

Almost every programming language uses 64-bit integers on typical modern Intelmachines. OCaml uses a special 63-bit representation. How does it affect OCaml?

Processor companies typically iterate off proven designs, and for good reason. Changing too many things at once introduces a lot of risk. A lot of changing parts makes it hard to get a good picture of overall performance, so it also makes tuning difficult. Pentium 4 and Bulldozer made clean breaks from prior architectures, and…

DuBois residents may soon see a new name for the Sandy Bridge honoring Air Force Veteran and Pennsylvania State Trooper Brad Wilson. 

CLEARFIELD — The Clearfield County Commissioners added their support to a list of municipalities which endorse renaming the Sandy Bridge in honor of Trooper First Class Brad Wilson.
