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 ...

According to a new leak, Intel Raptor Lake processors may be getting a much larger cache than their current-gen Alder Lake predecessors. The increase in cache size, which is rumored to be up to 68MB, ...

I'm planning on upgrading my cpu/mobo to an a64 combo, but I want to know what some of the advantages are in having 1mb of L2 cache over 512k. Is it worth the extra money? From what I've read, it ...

I'm studying for the A+ exam, so the questions are coming in droves for now. Now that L2 cache has been integrated into the processor and runs at full speed, what differentiates it from L1 cache? I'm ...

One of the new processor architectures that Intel will release is Intel ice Lake, some new information was spotted as Intel seems to be creating bigger L1 data 48KB and L2 cache 512KB caches.

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 ...
