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 will be introduced to Zen 6's CCD.
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?
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 ...
A new rumor suggests that Intel's upcoming Nova Lake processor's compute tile may have an exceptionally large area.
TL;DR: AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor, debuting at CES 2025, features 16 cores, 32 threads, and up to 5.65GHz clock speeds. It includes 128MB of L3 cache using 3D V-Cache technology, maintaining a ...
AMD is beginning the rollout of its newest CPUs with the Zen 5 architecture, with two mobile chips already in the market and four desktop chips coming soon. After its consumer CPUs are in the wild, it ...
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's 7800X3D and 7950X3D CPUs reign supreme in the gaming realm, not solely due to their core count or clock speeds, but primarily owing to their abundant cache. CPU cache refers to a small yet ...
An AMD gaming CPU with even more 3D V-cache than the Ryzen 9950X3D is reportedly in the works. The latest rumor suggests that AMD is working on two new gaming CPUs, one of which has a total of 16 ...
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 ...
