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 ...

AMD just revealed the Ryzen 9950X3D2 Dual Edition desktop processor, which is a beastly follow-up to last year's 9950X3D.

A CPU relies on various kinds of storage to optimally run programs and power a computer. These include components like hard disks and SSDs for long-term storage, RAM and GPU memory for fast, temporary ...

The development of caches and caching is one of the most significant events in the history of computing. Virtually every modern CPU core from ultra-low power chips like the ARM Cortex-A5 to the ...

Buying a CPU is often much more than a necessary upgrade — it can determine the platform you'll stay on for the foreseeable future, and the features you'll have access to. This is why it's important ...

In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

In this article, we'll take a look at how L3 cache capacity affects gaming performance. More specifically, we'll be examining AMD's Zen 3-based Ryzen processors in a "for science" type of feature.

There are three levels of Processor Cache viz; L1, L2, and L3. The more L2 and L3 cache your system has, the faster the data will be fetched, the faster the program will be executed, and the more ...

At some point you may have heard someone say that for gaming you need X amount of cores. Typical examples include "6 is more than enough cores," or "you need a minimum of 8 cores for gaming," due to ...

In a computer, the entire memory can be separated into different levels based on access time and capacity. Figure 1 shows different levels in the memory hierarchy. Smaller and faster memories are kept ...
