What Does ARM Stand For In Smartphones And Computers?
If you've been paying attention to smartphones and computers, you've probably heard people refer to ARM processors with increasing frequency. First developed by a small team of researchers in the early 1980s, ARM was designed to revolutionize traditional computer processors by making them more efficient. Although they're most closely associated with mobile devices, these days, ARM is stretching out to encompass more of our computing landscape than ever before. What's most interesting, is that these now hugely popular and important processors once had humble beginnings.

Intel Celebrates 50 Years of the 8080 Processor
The Intel 8080. It didn't revolutionize microprocessors - it created the microprocessor market. "The 4004 and 8008 suggested it, but the 8080 made it real," said Federico Faggin, Intel's lead designer for the 8080 and its predecessor processors, the 4004 and 8008. Prior to the 8080's launch in 1974, Intel mostly made chips designed for specific types of customers and their needs. And though the 4004 and 8008 were later used in applications beyond their original use cases, general use was not the original design goal.

Intel was formed in 1968 and introduced its first product, the 3101 Schottky RAM, just a year later. From there, the tech giant has gone off to developing a wide range of electronic components — the 1101 static RAM also in 1969, the 1702 EPROM in 1971 (the first in the world), and the 8080 general-purpose microprocessor in 1974, just to name a few.

AMD on Tuesday released its flagship FPGA series, and possibly its most important product launch after the company's Xilinx acquisition, the Versal Premium Series Gen 2 SoC. It's hard to call this an FPGA, much in the same way as it's hard to call a modern processor "a CPU," there are many integrated devices, platform interfaces, and application-specific accelerators, and much in the same way, the Versal Premium Series Gen 2 is marketed as an "adaptive SoC," rather than a really powerful FPGA. Speaking of I/O, this is AMD's first product to implement PCI-Express Gen 6 and CXL 3.1.

Are Intel Arrow Lake Processors So Bad?
On October 24, 2024, Intel officially launched its latest line of processors, codenamed Arrow Lake. The new chips feature interesting changes, such as ditching hyper-threading, moving to TSMC, LGA1851, new platform design, different naming schemes (Core Ultra), etc. However, the reviews mostly did not favor the latest Intel processors, receiving mixed to negative results.

Intel CEO Gelsinger calls it a "one off," tips plans to bring Panther Lake and Nova Lake in house as much as possible.
Intel has announced that upcoming generations of its processors, including the Panther Lake and Nova Lake series, will no longer use the Memory on Package (MoP) package-level memory solutions found in the current Lunar Lake processors. During the company's third-quarter 2024 earnings call, CEO Pat Gelsinger confirmed that future processor products will return to standard memory packaging methods, separating memory components from the processor package instead of integrating them directly as in Lunar Lake.

5 Of The Best AMD CPUs For PC Gaming In 2024
Picking the right gaming CPU can be tricky, but if you've made up your mind to give AMD a try, you're already on the right track. In the last few years, AMD has dominated the gaming CPU scene, largely thanks to its innovative 3D V-Cache. This technology massively boosts the amount of L3 cache on the processor, which, as it turns out, plays a huge part in gaming performance. Still, even AMD's non-3D CPUs are solid picks for gaming purposes.
