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 ...

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 ...

If a Core i9 15900K tips up with eight Performance cores and 32 Efficient cores, we're looking at potentially 56MB of L2 cache. At least. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Your guess is correct. The older-style cache on the motherboard is pretty much a "dumb" cache the OS doesn't know about and is just there. It runs at the FSB speed (as opposed to the CPU speed), but ...

More cache and more performance are in the works for Intel's upcoming chips. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Intel's Arrow Lake ...

Intel's 12th-generation Alder Lake CPUs aren't that far from its 13th-gen Raptor Lake chips. There are lots of changes, of course, but from an end-user perspective, the biggest difference is the ...
