AMD is working on a mysterious dual-cache Ryzen processor, and early benchmarks give us a glimpse of what its bigger L3 cache ...

Combined with whatever architectural improvements Zen 6 brings to the table, AMD's next-gen 3D V-Cache chips could deliver a ...

A CPU relies on various kinds of storage to optimally run programs and power a computer. These include components like hard disks and SSDs for long-term storage, RAM and GPU memory for fast, temporary ...

Intel is upping the L3 cache of its next-gen Xeon "Granite Rapids" CPUs with flagship SKUs featuring up to 480MB of L3 cache. Intel's current 5th Gen Xeon "Emerald Rapids" processors were launched in ...

AMD’s 7800X3D and 7950X3D hold the top spot in CPUs for gaming, not because they have the most cores or the highest clock speeds, but because they have the most cache. But what is CPU cache, anyway?

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 ...

Leaked specifications of two upcoming AMD EPYC Genoa-X CPUs reveal that these chips will feature over 1GB of L3 cache with the integration of 3D V-Cache technology. Known as 100-000000892-04 and ...

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 ...
