TL;DR: AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 processor offers enhanced performance with 16 cores, 32 threads, and a groundbreaking ...

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.

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 ...

TL;DR: AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor, debuting at CES 2025, features 16 cores, 32 threads, and up to 5.65GHz clock speeds. It includes 128MB of L3 cache using 3D V-Cache technology, maintaining a ...

What just happened? Intel's next-gen Xeon CPUs, codenamed Granite Rapids, could come with a massive cache upgrade compared to their predecessors. While the high-end Emerald Rapids SKUs ship with up to ...

AMD’s mic-drop moment at Computex was the news of its closely guarded “V-Cache” technology, which would enable chip stacking on Ryzen CPUs. PCWorld interviewed AMD’s Sam Naffziger about V-Cache. We ...

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 ...

In brief: AMD caught everyone off guard at Computex 2021 with a demonstration of its new 3D chiplet technology that looks to deliver the type of performance gain you'd typically see with a new process ...

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 ...

Intel is set to give its mobile processors a major bump in L3 cache starting with its Tiger Lake-U lineup due out next year, according to newly leaked data. Assuming the information is accurate, Tiger ...
