Intel Patents Software to Boost CPU Performance

Imagine your computer's brain (CPU) has multiple helpers (cores).

Intel's new idea, called Software Defined Supercore, is like having those helpers work together even better.

Normally, each helper does its own task.

SDC breaks down a single task into smaller pieces, and makes the helpers work on them at the same time.

This way, they can get more done at once, making your computer faster.

The cores work together as a single more powerful core by running different parts of a program, increasing instructions per clock with barely any overhead.
