In the eighties, computer processors became faster and faster, while memory access times stagnated and hindered additional performance increases. Something had to be done to speed up memory access and ...

AMD’s 7800X3D and 7950X3D hold the top spot in CPUs for gaming, not because they have the most cores or the highest clock speeds, but because they have the most cache. But what is CPU cache, anyway?

When talking about CPU specifications, in addition to clock speed and number of cores/threads, ' CPU cache memory ' is sometimes mentioned. Developer Gabriel G. Cunha explains what this CPU cache ...

The more cache memory a computer has, the faster it runs. However, because of its high-speed performance, cache memory is more expensive to build than RAM. Therefore, cache memory tends to be very ...

System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designers have a problem, a big problem in fact, Random Access Memory (RAM) is slow, too slow, it just can’t keep up. So they came up with a workaround and it is called cache ...

The more cache memory a computer has, the faster it runs. However, because of its high-speed performance, cache memory is more expensive to build than RAM. Therefore, cache memory tends to be very ...

RAM, or Random Access Memory, is what your computer uses to multi-task. Most devices with any kind of computer inside, whether it’s a PC, laptop, smartphone, or game console, will require a minimum ...

Why it matters: A RAM drive is traditionally conceived as a block of volatile memory "formatted" to be used as a secondary storage disk drive. RAM disks are extremely fast compared to HDDs or even ...
