L3 is considerably larger than L1 and even L2. Intel’s i9-11900K has 16MB of L3 cache, while AMD’s Ryzen 5950X has 64MB. Unlike L1, L2 and L3 caches are shared between all cores. It is also the slowest memory on the CPU. L4is not very common; you won’t find it on any ...
When Intel and AMD launch new processors, they compare the performance of the new generation processors with the previous one. Among single & multicore performance improvements, they also put a spotlight on the IPC performance improvement. But what exactly is the IPC of a CPU & why CPU manufac...
Here’s what you need to look for in each of theAMD Ryzen processorsand, more generally, in a gaming CPU. What to look for in a gaming CPU While most people interested in building a gaming PC focus solely on theGPU, the CPU is just as important. If your CPU and GPU aren’t comp...
As the title suggests, what is your favorite Ryzen processor during those 3 generations and why? For me would be the Raven Ridge chips, particularly the 2200g. Eventhough the 1800x was my very first one which signaled a resurgence from AMD back onto the CPU front,...
The AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme is the star of the show with an impressive 16 GPU cores. It's also an 8-core CPU with 16 threads that can boost up to 5.0 GHz. The CPU has 24 MB of cache to work with and can be configured to run between 15-35 W. The AMD Ryzen Z2 sits just bel...
I'm stuck on the type of RAM and Ryzen CPU. Do I just go with the 7800X3D or the 7900X? Which one has a better memory controller and what timing should I be looking at? I have an RTX 4070 already so thats coming from the older system. I use HOTAS as we...
The MSI motherboards with the brand-new AMD B450 chipsets are no exception to this rule! Core Boost Unlocked cores of the Ryzen processors deserve a lot more love in the power department. Keeping this in mind, MSI B450 motherboards feature at least a 7-phase PWM and an 8-pin CPU ...
Although it has switched to LGA from PGA, AMD managed to keep the physical CPU size roughly the same as its previous Ryzen CPUs. In addition to this, it retained the AM4 retention module for broader support with older CPU coolers. One of the key advantages of this approach is maintaining...
