While it might not be as flashy as a speedy SSD or high-end RAM, the L1, L2, and L3 CPU cache are built into every computer ...

Cache memory consists of different levels called L1, L2, L3 and occasionally L4, which differ in location, speed and size. The cache memory is extremely fast and positioned as close as possible to ...

Each CPU core has its own L2 cache memory, just like the L1 cache. Measured in megabytes on modern CPUs, the L2 cache is slower than the L1 cache, but still around 25 times faster than the system ...

Cache memory is a small, high-speed storage area that stores frequently accessed data to improve system performance.

AMD secures a new patent for a multi-chiplet GPU using a 'Smart Switch' fueling rumors of a multi-chiplet consumer-focused ...

Like, potentially a 75% increase in total L2 cache for the top Arrow Lake CPU. And we've seen what a fat wad of cache can do for gaming performance, right?

A “cache hit” means the CPU found the information it was looking for right there in the cache. This is good because it’s ...

Put some smaller and faster memory much closer to the CPU core. This tiny "cache" can deliver frequently-used instructions and data to the hungry CPU without having to wait on slow main memory.

The definition of the "Speed Freak" is changing. Thanks to the AMD Athlon Thunderbird processors (or Athlons with "Performance-enhancing L2 cache memory" as AMD would have it) comes yet another ...

CPU cache can have a big effect on processor and system performance. But what is cache, and what does it do? Read on to find out.
