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 ...

Last fall ahead of the SC21 supercomputing conference, AMD said it was going to be the first of the major compute engine makers to add 3D vertical L3 cache to its chips, in this case to variants of ...

AMD is launching the new Ryzen 9 9900X3D and 9950X3D with 3D V-Cache technology for faster gaming performance. The release ...

AMD had a surprise at Computex: CPUs with a lot of L3 cache, and a claimed generational-equivalent performance uplift. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new window) ...

Intel is rumored to be developing a new desktop CPU design with significantly increased L3 cache, potentially aimed at countering AMD’s popular Ryzen X3D processors. According to known leakers ...

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 ...

AMD's 7800X3D and 7950X3D CPUs reign supreme in the gaming realm, not solely due to their core count or clock speeds, but primarily owing to their abundant cache. CPU cache refers to a small yet ...

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 ...
