When shopping for a new CPU, you're likely to come across many different CPU specifications, such as cores, clock speed, TDP, and manufacturing process. Another important aspect of CPU hardware is ...

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 ...

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab have designed a system where programs can have access to ad hoc optimally allocated cache memory. In a simulation test system with ...

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 ...

It’s easy to look strictly at the type of CPU and GPU you have when evaluating the kind of performance you’re likely to get in PC games. But beyond that lies another important stat, the CPU cache.
