Combined with whatever architectural improvements Zen 6 brings to the table, AMD's next-gen 3D V-Cache chips could deliver a ...

For a couple of years now, AMD has offered special versions of its desktop processors with an extra 64MB chunk of L3 cache included. This cache is layered on top of the existing CPU silicon, earning ...

One of the key characteristics of most Ryzen "X3D" processors with AMD's 3D V-Cache tech, is that they offer reduced clock rates compared to the same CPU without it. The cut to clock rates was larger ...

Current AMD Ryzen desktop processors that use stacked 3D V-Cache top out at 128 MB of L3 from a single die. However, a recent post from ...

When shopping for a new CPU, you're likely to come across many different CPU specifications, such as cores, clock speed, TDP, ...

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 ...

Buying a CPU is often much more than a necessary upgrade — it can determine the platform you'll stay on for the foreseeable future, and the features you'll have access to. This is why it's important ...

TL;DR: AMD's new flagship Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor smiles for a gorgeous die shot, showing the dual CCDs of Zen 5 power. AMD has officially launched its new flagship Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor, ...

The new die shots of the Ryzen 9000 series CPUs gives us a (much) closer look of the new Zen 5 architecture, and what AMD has planned for the future (hint: its upcoming Ryzen 9000X3D series CPUs with ...

It’s easy to look strictly at the type of CPU and GPU you have when evaluating the kind of performance you’re likely to get in PC games. But beyond that lies another important stat, the CPU cache.

New AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D gaming CPUs could have been produced with even better specs, but to do so would have made them far too expensive. That's according to AMD, who stated at CES this ...

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.
