When shopping for a new CPU, you're likely to come across many different CPU specifications, such as cores, clock speed, TDP, ...

In the world of computing, one of the unexpected things to marvel at is the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing in data centers. These and other forces are driving ...

Graphics processors need a lot of memory bandwidth for good performance. This is why discrete GPUs have hot-clocked GDDR or HBM on massively-wide memory interfaces, but integrated graphics don't have ...

Let the era of 3D V-Cache in HPC begin. Inspired by the idea of AMD’s “Milan-X” Epyc 7003 processors with their 3D V-Cache stacked L3 cache memory and then propelled by actual benchmark tests pitting ...

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 ...

This year’s Hot Chips event featured a tutorial on the fast-rising CXL standard and its latest iteration—CXL 3. What is Compute Express Link (CXL)? Why CXL is important. What’s new with CXL 3? One of ...

Why a new memory interface is needed. Features and benefits of DDR5. How DDR5 will usher in a new era of composable, scalable data centers. The move to DDR5 will probably be more important than most ...

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 ...
