Gamers can ignore it, scientists and engineers will be very interested ...

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 ...

Necessity is the mother of invention, and advances in chip packaging are catching up to those in transistor design when it comes to working in three dimensions instead of the much more limited two.

We expected the chip to carry a premium price tag, and it might push gamers away, but Red Team has its sights set on ...

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 ...

We learned that Deneb, the 45nm CPU from the Stars generation with zero L3 cache, is going to be a native part. This means that Deneb without L3 cache simply won’t have the L3 cache disabled, it will ...

AMD is showing off technology that could dramatically increase the amount and speed of cache memory available for next-gen chips, with up to 192MB of L3 cache on upcoming AMD Ryzen desktop chips and ...

AMD may have doubled the per-core L3 cache on its 7nm Rome server CPUs, along with various architectural changes and improvements. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

I was just thinking, how hard could it be to slap 512kB or 1MB of L3 cache on the motherboard and run it with the FSB? They did on every mobo from Super7 down but that was L2 cache, only L3 with a ...
