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 ...

Leaker claims AMD Zen 6 will feature 48MB of L3 cache — keeping L3 cache-to-core ratio the same as Zen 5 with Zen 6's 12-core CCD
A new rumor suggests that AMD will be upgrading Zen 6 to 48MB of L3 cache to compensate for the four additional cores that ...
AMD’s 7800X3D and 7950X3D hold the top spot in CPUs for gaming, not because they have the most cores or the highest clock speeds, but because they have the most cache. But what is CPU cache, anyway?
Let me first say that I'm not (nor will I ever be) an electrical engineer. I'm just curious.<BR><BR>Basically, a friend and I were talking about possible future Nehalem processors. We were ...
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 ...
Intel is upping the L3 cache of its next-gen Xeon "Granite Rapids" CPUs with flagship SKUs featuring up to 480MB of L3 cache. Intel's current 5th Gen Xeon "Emerald Rapids" processors were launched in ...
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) ...
What just happened? Intel's next-gen Xeon CPUs, codenamed Granite Rapids, could come with a massive cache upgrade compared to their predecessors. While the high-end Emerald Rapids SKUs ship with up to ...
I was just thinking, how hard could it be to slap 512kB or 1MB of L3 cache on the motherboard and run it with the FSB? They did on every mobo from Super7 down but that was L2 cache, only L3 with a ...
To make it easier to share? According to the same document that we mentioned here, AMD seems to have integrated the L3 cache into the northbridge part of its K10 architechure. This might seem odd at ...
