AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 leaks in CPU-Z benchmark with 128MB dual L3 cache (two 64MB CCDs, one 3D V-Cache) on X870E board.

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

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 ...

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

A recent update to Intel's Software Development Emulator may have inadvertently revealed that the company's upcoming Granite Rapids server CPU comes with 480MB of L3 cache, as spotted by @InstLatX64 ...

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 ...

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.

While it's nice to see desktop support in AMD's new Ryzen AI 400 chips, demanding gamers and enthusiasts will likely be more ...

AMD may have doubled the per-core L3 cache on its 7nm Rome server CPUs, along with various architectural changes and improvements. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

What just happened? Intel's next-gen Xeon CPUs, codenamed Granite Rapids, could come with a massive cache upgrade compared to their predecessors. While the high-end Emerald Rapids SKUs ship with up to ...

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 ...

AMD’s mic-drop moment at Computex was the news of its closely guarded “V-Cache” technology, which would enable chip stacking on Ryzen CPUs. PCWorld interviewed AMD’s Sam Naffziger about V-Cache. We ...
