Which budget 64-bit CPU platform offers the best bang for buck? Read on as we investigate Sempron 64 vs. Celeron D 64.

MIPS has licensed its 64-bit MIPS64 core architecture to companies including Cavium and Netlogic for years and even introduced the industry’s first 64-bit CPU, the R4000, in 1991.

For starters, the ISA makes all processing 64-bit native, operating on 64-bit data inside the processor's execution units. There's no special processing mode to use 64-bit data types, or ...

What is so special about a custom, 64-bit CPU core? As we have seen from the performance scores from Apple’s A7, a well-designed and executed, custom SoC based on ARM’s v8 processor ...

A: I’d put my money on 32-bit processors disappearing. This is a tad oversimplified, but what those bits refer to is how much data the processor can address or move at the same time.

With smartphones starting to carry 64-bit processors inside, the interest in 64-bit CPUs have also trickled down to development boards, including the Raspberry Pi.

Aimed at single- and dual-processor workstations, the CPU code named Nocona is Intel's first Xeon chip to use its 90-nm process technology, incorporate new power saving technology and come with a chip ...

An exec sees the 64-bit A7 chip used in the iPhone 5S as a "marketing gimmick" from Apple, although the same exec suggests that Qualcomm will also produce such mobile chips in the future.

Not to be outdone by Apple, Samsung has picked up the A7 gauntlet and promises 64-bit chips for its next Galaxy range.

The Apple 5s' 64-bit processor may be slightly ahead of the curve, but it's an integral part of Apple's mobile future.
