In recent years, the concept of FPGA has become increasingly prevalent. For example, Bitcoin mining has seen the use of FPGA-based mining machines. Additionally, Microsoft previously announced that it would use FPGAs “instead of” CPUs in data centers, among other applications. In fact, FPGA is not unfamiliar to professionals, as it has been widely used … Read more
Word Count: 1800 Content Quality Index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Modern CPUs are generally categorized into von Neumann architecture (also known as Princeton architecture) and Harvard architecture. The von Neumann architecture refers to the X86 architecture, while the Harvard architecture refers to the ARM architecture. One is widely used in desktop environments (desktops/laptops/servers/workstations, etc.), while the other dominates … Read more
Unlike independent brands like Intel or AMD, ARM-designed processors may not be known by many users, but few would think that processors designed by ARM exist in over 130 billion different devices. This includes smartphones, gaming consoles, smartwatches, and even in hygrometers, ATMs, and countless other devices. Moreover, in 2020, these ARM-based processors also made … Read more
With little knowledge of hardware, let’s learn from Master Yang’s article “Do You Understand ARM CPU Architecture?!”. Introduction Recently, there was a requirement to install MySQL 8.0 on an ARM architecture; I’ve heard of ARM CPUs, but have never deployed them in practice; and what exactly is this ARM CPU architecture? I only have a … Read more
Source: Semiconductor Industry Observation Original Author: Gong Jiajia More than twenty years ago, Microsoft’s Windows operating system and Intel’s X86 chips formed a “duopoly” that dominated the computer market until they encountered Apple. Apple’s rise caused cracks in the once unbreakable Wintel alliance, and “Windows + X86” was no longer the only option; you could … Read more
When it comes to chip manufacturers, who do you think of first? Intel, AMD, Apple, Samsung, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Kirin… In fact, except for a few chip manufacturers like Intel and AMD that are involved in the “X86 circle,” the rest rely on ARM for their business. The Two Meanings of ARM The term “ARM” has … Read more
For the vast majority of PC users, a computer is just a tool, and there is no need to understand DIY hardware configuration or assembly. However, if you want to use your computer better and purchase the best cost-performance ratio computer based on personal needs, it is best to understand some DIY hardware configuration. Previously, … Read more
The i7-7700K has been on sale for a while. Both the top cover inscription and CPU-Z detection have confirmed its identity, but the i7-7700K has a fatal flaw: high temperatures. Mr. Feng has conducted practical tests. Many media outlets have also provided early reviews of the i7-7700K. Aside from the strong overclocking capability of this … Read more
Confucius said: “A name that is not correct leads to words that are not in order.” The importance of naming is self-evident. Naming computer products is also an art; sometimes, creating a name that resonates through the ages is more important than the product itself. For example, in the CPU field, the name Core—Cool is … Read more
