The Intel 80286, a 16-bit chip, had a total of 357 unique instructions. The new RISC instruction set that Sophie Wilson was creating would have only 45. Comparison of Intel 80286 and ARM V1 ...

AMD and Intel recently started changing how the x86 chip architecture will handle exceptions. Linus Torvalds, in turn, gave his take on their new approach for forthcoming generations of CPUs.

The engine of the ubiquitous PC is the Intel 8088 chip, a hybrid 16/8-bit microprocessor; that of the AT is the Intel 80286 chip, a true 16-bit microprocessor.

Below, we'll discuss the next series of Intel CPUs, starting with the 80286 and running through the Pentium Pro. The 80186, while it technically existed, ...

Though it is largely forgotten today, the Intel 80286 was for a while in the 1980s the processor of choice and designated successor to the 8086 in the world of PCs. It brought a new mode that could… ...

Compared to Intel’s first microprocessor, the Intel 4004, today’s 14nm process delivers 3,500 times the performance at 90,000 times the efficiency and at 1/60,000th the cost.

It was designed to be used with any microprocessor, including Intel’s l6-bit 80186 and 80286 and 32-bit 80386. 1. The Intel 82786 was the first graphics chip to support multiple windows in ...

To celebrate the 40th birthday of the Intel 4004 -- the first single-chip CPU -- we're going to take a look at the history of Intel's microprocessors. We'll start with the 4004 but quickly move ...

Summer. 1980-something. An elementary-school-attending, Knight Rider-T-Shirt-wearing version of myself slowly rolls out of bed and shuffles to the living room.There, nestled between an imposingly ...
