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 ...

Leaked specifications of two upcoming AMD EPYC Genoa-X CPUs reveal that these chips will feature over 1GB of L3 cache with the integration of 3D V-Cache technology. Known as 100-000000892-04 and ...

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) ...

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 made some key changes to its second generation 3D V-Cache design that allows it to be more flexible with clock speeds, and rumor has it that both the upcoming Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D ...

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'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 ...

Intel is set to increase the L3 cache size in its upcoming Xeon Granite Rapids processors, potentially reaching up to 480 MB per unit. The current Emerald Rapids series features processors with up to ...
