We have described and applied a technique for selection of processor cache configurations for low power using a parameter defined as a product of the cache miss rate and cache size. 1. Introduction ...

In the early days of computing, everything ran quite a bit slower than what we see today. This was not only because the computers' central processing units – CPUs – were slow, but also because ...

Intel to add big chunks of L2 cache. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. It isn't easy for a company to release faster CPUs year ...

Intel is set to increase the L3 cache size in its upcoming Xeon Granite Rapids processors, potentially reaching up to 480 MB per unit. The current Emerald Rapids series features processors with up to ...

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

As the demand for high-performance processors continues to grow and semiconductor scaling laws continue to show their limits, the need for processor optimization is inevitable. As I explained in a ...

Processor performance can be affected by clock speed, cache size and the number of cores the processor has. The larger the cache size, the less time a processor has to wait for instructions to be ...

Because the dimensions of lithography are now closer to the fundamental physical limits, scaling is more and more difficult and thus multi-core processor solutions are just starting to be more popular ...

The processor maintains a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 170 watts, indicating enhanced thermal efficiency despite the increased cache size. AMD's operating system scheduler is designed to optimize ...
