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 ...

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 ...

Intel’s upcoming Nova Lake processor introduces a different approach to its cache architecture by having two performance cores share a 4MB L2 cache. This change is a departure from the current Arrow ...

Even after all of our refinements to the technologies; even despite innumerable advancements, the single biggest bottleneck for superior CPU performance is still simply getting data into and out of ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — NEC Corp. has taken the wraps off a MIPS-based 64-bit embedded processor that integrates Level 2 cache and a DRAM controller, both equipped with error-correction coding features.

A consortium of Twitter users have been poring over the recently leaked data from the Nvidia hack by the rogue group Lapsus$ and posting their findings online. Thus far, the leaks confirm previous ...

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 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 ...

I have a Core 2 E6600 CPU which states that it has 4mb of L2 cache. Does this mean it really has 4mb of onboard L2 cache or is this another numbers game by Intel with it really being 2 x 2mb L2 cache?
