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 ...

"CPUcacheIs multilayered in the way that L1 is 32 KB, L2 is 256 KB, L 3 is 2 MB, why is it not possible with L1 cache of 32 KB + 256 KB + 2 MB? "Fabian Giessen (ryg) responds clearly to the simple ...

As the x86 performance king, Intel has done a lot of work to build and maintain their lead. After the stumble with Pentium 4, the company has come a long way. With success, however, is ever higher ...

After an initial leak a few weeks ago, a new report appears to reveal key specifications for AMD's upcoming 3D V-Cache processors, rumored to be the ...

One of the new processor architectures that Intel will release is Intel ice Lake, some new information was spotted as Intel seems to be creating bigger L1 data 48KB and L2 cache 512KB caches.

The i7 supports the x86-64 instruction set architecture, a 64-bit extension of the 80×86 architecture. The i7 is an out-of-order execution processor that includes four cores. In this chapter, we focus ...

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 ...
