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.

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?

When talking about CPU specifications, in addition to clock speed and number of cores/threads, ' CPU cache memory ' is sometimes mentioned. Developer Gabriel G. Cunha explains what this CPU 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 ...

When shopping for a new CPU, you're likely to come across many different CPU specifications, such as cores, clock speed, TDP, and manufacturing process. Another important aspect of CPU hardware is ...

"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 ...

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.

At the tail end of 2022, AMD pulled the wraps off its next-gen Epyc server CPUs, code-named Genoa. Though they offered impressive specs, including up to 96-cores and 192-threads, the company is now ...

A new rumor suggests that a next-gen Intel CPU with technology to rival AMD's gaming processors is on the way. The details about future Nova Lake gaming CPUs, while very much unconfirmed so far, ...
