The development of caches and caching is one of the most significant events in the history of computing. Virtually every modern CPU core from ultra-low power chips like the ARM Cortex-A5 to the ...

When you're comparing two of the best CPUs, the first spec that comes to mind is clock speed. It quite literally represents how fast the CPU can churn through clock cycles, and naturally, you'd assume ...

Ahead of AMD’s Zen launch in early 2017, enthusiasts were clamoring for exciting progress in the desktop CPU market. While we saw GPUs gain tremendously from one generation to the next, every CPU ...

AMD’s Zen 4 3D V-Cache CPUs are true marvels of modern CPU performance. They offer exceptional gaming performance on par with the absolute best that Intel has to offer, and yet do it at a fraction of ...

PC components explained: learn what each part does, their functions, and how CPU, GPU, storage, and cooling impact performance and longevity.

AMD said Monday evening at Computex 2021 that it has evolved its chiplet architecture into 3D chiplets, specifically what it calls 3D V-Cache technology. By itself, the technology promises performance ...

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 Ryzen 7 9850X3D CPU launches January 29 for $499, offering higher clocks and 3D V-Cache gaming performance.

Multi-core processors theoretically can run many threads of code in parallel, but some categories of operation currently bog down attempts to raise overall performance by parallelizing computing. Is ...

In a recent hardware deep-dive, we took a look at how CPU cores and cache impacted gaming performance. To do that, we used three Intel Core processors and compared their core scaling performance, ...
