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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Yesterday at Computex 2021, AMD CEO Lisa Su showed off the company’s next big performance play—3D stacked chiplets, allowing the company to triple the amount of L3 cache on its flagship Zen 3 CPUs.

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.
