ZombieLoad is similar to previous “side channel” attacks, which trick Intel processors into coughing up potentially sensitive information that otherwise would be kept private by the CPU. The exploit ...

Hyper-threading makes a single CPU act in some ways like two chips, but because there’s still only one patch of high-speed cache memory and one connection to the rest of the computer, performance ...

With its new Hyper-threaded Xeon CPU, Intel is paving the way for multithreaded software development. But Larry Seltzer wonders whether developers will embrace the challenge. I used to follow the ...

Intel has shipped Hyper-Threading CPUs for well over a decade, even subtracting the Core 2 era when the technology wasn't used. For most of that time, Hyper-Threading has been a technology that 'just ...

Intel and its partners have been busy mitigating Spectre and Meltdown, which are two types of speculative side-channel CPU attacks that, if exploited, could potentially expose a user's sensitive data.

It finally happened. Intel killed Hyper-Threading on its desktop CPUs. The new Arrow Lake range, called Core Ultra 200S, ditches the simultaneous multi-threading (SMT) feature that Intel has held onto ...

The rumors around Intel's Arrow Lake processors are starting to pile up, and the latest one is a bit of a shocker in all honesty - that the chips which will follow next-gen Raptor Lake Refresh will do ...

Intel has officially launched its Kaby Lake desktop CPU lineup, we've already had a chance to review the Core i7 7700K and Core i5 7600K but there are lower end CPUs coming down the pipeline too.
