These next-generation laptop processors are also reported to receive a bump across both CPU core counts and L3 cache configurations.

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 ...

While it's premature to draw any real conclusions (particularly performance), there are some interesting details in the listing.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Let me first say that I'm not (nor will I ever be) an electrical engineer. I'm just curious.<BR><BR>Basically, a friend and I were talking about possible future Nehalem processors. We were ...

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 ...
