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 is working on a mysterious dual-cache Ryzen processor, and early benchmarks give us a glimpse of what its bigger L3 cache ...

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 ...

AMD's Zen 4 CPUs are the company's second-generation version of the technology, as it first appeared on the Ryzen 7 5800X3D in the Zen 3 days. Both versions are technically similar, with a 64MB L3 ...

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 ...

In context: AMD's pioneering 3D V-Cache technology vertically stacks additional L3 cache onto the processor die, which has given the company an edge over the competition in PC gaming performance. The ...

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.
