This paper presents the architecture of a high performance level 2 cache capable of use with a large class of embedded RISC cpu cores. The cache has a number of novel features including advanced ...

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 ...

If multiple devices, such as the CPU and peripherals, access the same cacheable memory region, cache and memory can become incoherent. This is illustrated in Figure 7. Suppose the CPU accesses a ...

Rumors regarding Intel's true successor to Raptor Lake—code-named Arrow Lake—are beginning to leak out about a year ahead of its expected launch. The latest bit of info states Intel is looking to beef ...

Nvidia's latest GPUs, the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, have been closely examined for their L1 and L2 cache configurations, as well as memory enhancements. According to recent reports by Tom's Hardware, the ...

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 ...

I'm thinking of buying ~$200 worth of components to a) build a Hackintosh and b) upgrade my current CPU (handing it off to the Hackintosh build). I currently have an E6550 (2.33 Ghz Conroe with 4 MB ...

A processor cache is an area of high-speed memory that stores information near the processor. This helps make the processing of common instructions efficient and therefore speeds up computation time.
