In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

With transistors and logic gates as our basic building blocks, we can begin to construct the actual circuits that make up computer memory. One of the simplest memory circuits is the AND gate, which ...

When talking about CPU specifications, in addition to clock speed and number of cores/threads, ' CPU cache memory ' is sometimes mentioned. Developer Gabriel G. Cunha explains what this CPU cache ...

When it comes to PCs, it’s important to know a thing or two about the hardware inside of them. Along with the CPU and GPU, RAM is one of the essential hardware components of any desktop PC or notebook ...

We all know that enabling Extreme Memory Profiles (XMP) can boost your system’s RAM speed. However, we have noticed that sometimes, XMP fails to work. Enabling XMP has no effect on RAM’s speed, which ...

Computers are now essential to our daily lives, found both at work and at home. But what exactly makes them tick? And what will the computer of the future look like? A computer is a machine that ...
