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 ...

The swap from the promised 395 to the 388 cuts cores from 16 to 8 and L3 cache from 64MB to 32MB, with only graphics and TDP ...

Intel is putting its 18A node into the data center with new Xeon 6+ Clearwater Forest CPUs, which pack up to 288 E-cores for dense compute.

I have immersed myself in the tech world for over five years, focusing my efforts on providing readers with in-depth reviews of gadgets. Exploring the ins and outs of the latest tech has been quite a ...

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 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 ...

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.
