ClickFix attacks have evolved to feature videos that guide victims through the self-infection process, a timer to pressure targets into taking risky actions, and automatic detection of the operating ...

One of the major components inside a smartphone or any device, is the System on a Chip, or as we say in general terms, a “Processor” or a CPU, in the case of personal computers. From Intel’s ...

RISC (reduced instruction set computer), and CISC (complex instruction set computer). These two principles govern fundamental choices of CPU design and implementation. RISC architectures, such as ARM, ...

The era of universal processor architectures is giving way to workload-specific designs optimized for performance, power, and scalability. As data-centric applications in artificial intelligence (AI), ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dave Altavilla is a Tech Analyst covering chips, compute and AI. For decades, chip architectures have been dominated by a pair of ...

Old-timers might recall the idea of "RISC" as a once-upon-a-time processor design ideology. RISC processors were mostly used for servers from Sun Microsystems, DEC, and other companies of a bygone era ...

The industry is increasingly talking about benefits brought by the RISC-V architecture, but is it even the right starting point? While it may not be perfect, it may provide the flexibility necessary ...

To some, an operating system is a burden or waste of resources, like those working on embedded systems and other low-power applications. To others it’s necessary, abstracting away hardware so that ...

RISC-V, pronounced “risk five,” is a modern open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) based on reduced instruction set computer (RISC) principles. In simple terms, it’s like a blueprint that ...
