How Does Memory Affect Processors?. Your computer's central processing unit is the "brain" that controls all operations inside the machine. The computer's random access memory helps the CPU keep ...

A very common question I am asked is which is more important, the speed of the processor or the amount memory. This is a difficult question to answer and it would help if we had some understanding ...

Engineers have proposed a method of cutting power use and costs in computer processors. Called fine-grained power gating, the method would shut off energy to unused portions of datapath and memory ...

It takes a big step toward heterogeneous computing by adding a "unified virtual memory" architecture, meaning the CPU and GPU will be able to see all of the system's memory.

Computer scientists figure out how to get memory chips to act like computer processors By getting memory chips to perform computing tasks, data could now be processed where it is stored.

A computer's maximum supported system memory, or RAM, is contingent on the processor, the operating system and the motherboard.

IC Insights is projecting that 32-bit microcontrollers and flash memory will fare best in 5-year compound annual growth rates at 23 percent. Communications/special purpose logic will grow at a 21 ...
