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 ...

For about four years now, AMD has offered special “X3D” variants of its high-end desktop processors with an extra 64MB of L3 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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?

The new flagship packs a total of 208MB cache, helping deliver modest gains in gaming, rendering, and content creation.

These next-generation laptop processors are also reported to receive a bump across both CPU core counts and L3 cache ...
