AMD's 7800X3D and 7950X3D CPUs reign supreme in the gaming realm, not solely due to their core count or clock speeds, but primarily owing to their abundant cache. CPU cache refers to a small yet ...

Google’s TurboQuant cuts AI memory use by 6x and speeds up inference. But will it cause DRAM prices to drop anytime soon? Let ...

Modern multicore systems demand sophisticated strategies to manage shared cache resources. As multiple cores execute diverse workloads concurrently, cache interference can lead to significant ...

Within 24 hours of the release, community members began porting the algorithm to popular local AI libraries like MLX for Apple Silicon and llama.cpp.

AMD launched its first X3D CPU with 3D V-Cache back in April 2022 in the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. Since then, AMD's X3D chips have pretty much been the weapon of choice for well-funded gamers. Where, you ...

If you're having PC memory issues, you might assume clearing your RAM's cache might sound like it'll make your PC run faster. But be careful, because it can actually slow it down and is unlikely to ...

There's an exciting new graphics card memory technology on the horizon that could see huge gains in one of the most important aspects of GPUs: memory bandwidth. The new GPU SCM with DRAM tech can ...
