CPUs have a number of caching levels. We've discussed cache structures generally, in our L1 & L2 explainer, but we haven't spent as much time discussing how an L3 works or how it's different compared ...

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 ...

Let me first say that I'm not (nor will I ever be) an electrical engineer. I'm just curious.<BR><BR>Basically, a friend and I were talking about possible future Nehalem processors. We were ...

Let the era of 3D V-Cache in HPC begin. Inspired by the idea of AMD’s “Milan-X” Epyc 7003 processors with their 3D V-Cache stacked L3 cache memory and then propelled by actual benchmark tests pitting ...

A new rumor suggests that Intel's upcoming Nova Lake processor's compute tile may have an exceptionally large area.

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 ...

Intel’s next desktop update for Core Ultra Series 2, commonly referred to as “Arrow Lake Refresh,” is shaping up as an incremental but targeted revision. According to leak-driven benchmark coverage, ...
