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 ...

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab have designed a system where programs can have access to ad hoc optimally allocated cache memory. In a simulation test system with ...

In the early days of computing, everything ran quite a bit slower than what we see today. This was not only because the computers' central processing units – CPUs – were slow, but also because ...

LLC, positioned between external memory and internal subsystems, stores frequently accessed data close to compute resources.

In a computer, the entire memory can be separated into different levels based on access time and capacity. Figure 1 shows different levels in the memory hierarchy. Smaller and faster memories are kept ...

AMD is raising the bar in its battle against Intel in the data center with a new lineup of EPYC CPUs that use its 3D packaging technology to triple the L3 cache, giving them a significant hike in ...

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 ...
