Much has been made of efforts by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and Intel Corp. to bring dual-core processors to PCs and servers. Yesterday, Freescale Semiconductor Inc. revealed details of a dual-core ...

Dual-core processors--those with two processing engines--hit the mainstream in 2005. For years, chipmakers improved chips by increasing clock speeds. But physics and engineering problems put a stop to ...

Small businesses that are plagued by sluggish computers can benefit from expanding their computers' CPU capabilities. CPU expansion is a simple and cost effective way to increase the machine's speed ...
