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 ...

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 ...

The purpose of this application note is to familiarize the reader with the Level 1 (L1) CPU cache implementation in the PIC32MZ device family by bringing awareness to the hazards that can occur in a ...

I'm studying for the A+ exam, so the questions are coming in droves for now. Now that L2 cache has been integrated into the processor and runs at full speed, what differentiates it from L1 cache? I'm ...

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 ...

Following his detailed leak about AMD’s Zen 5 CPUs early last month, RedGamingTech has now issued some updates to his previously alleged information. While most of the stuff remains largely the same, ...

A leading CPU used in Chinese domestic computers can leak cache data from applications and operating systems due to a flaw in the chip designer's custom architecture, researchers found. Processors ...

I was checking out the specs at intel.com and noticed that the P4 has something called "12K µops L1 Execution Trace Cache" which is "8KB L1 data cache" The Pentium III has 32K L1 Cache (16K for ...

Once again, a novel "speculative execution side-channel" attack has been discovered by researchers. They show in their paper on the attackthat it will work against modern Intel microprocessors. Intel ...
