AMD's 7800X3D and 7950X3D CPUs reign supreme in the gaming realm, not solely due to their core count or clock speeds, but primarily owing to their abundant cache. CPU cache refers to a small yet ...

TL;DR: Intel's next-gen Core Ultra 400K "Nova Lake-S" desktop CPUs will feature 144MB of big last-level cache (bLLC) to compete with AMD's Ryzen X3D series, which uses 3D V-Cache technology. AMD plans ...

The development of caches and caching is one of the most significant events in the history of computing. Virtually every modern CPU core from ultra-low power chips like the ARM Cortex-A5 to the ...

SAN MATEO, Calif. — Bolting cache memory directly onto a processor core is a time-tested way to boost performance, but some microprocessor vendors will drop hints at this week's Embedded Processor ...

Buying a CPU is often much more than a necessary upgrade — it can determine the platform you'll stay on for the foreseeable future, and the features you'll have access to. This is why it's important ...

To understand the design decisions behind the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, you must understand cache and how it works inside of a processor. Cache is an often underappreciated, yet vitally important, piece of any ...

TL;DR: AMD is developing new Ryzen 9000 "Zen 5" CPUs featuring a 16-core, 32-thread design with a 200W TDP and an unprecedented 192MB L3 cache, potentially using dual 3D V-Cache dies. This flagship ...

Do you have a Socket AM5 system? Do you play games on it? Do you have a 3D V-Cache processor? If the answers to those questions are YYN like some kind of Rush song with the third part turned sideways, ...

When you're comparing two of the best CPUs, the first spec that comes to mind is clock speed. It quite literally represents how fast the CPU can churn through clock cycles, and naturally, you'd assume ...

Why it matters: A RAM drive is traditionally conceived as a block of volatile memory "formatted" to be used as a secondary storage disk drive. RAM disks are extremely fast compared to HDDs or even ...
