Read and write speeds of over 182 GB/s and 175 GB/s are provided by the AMD 3D V-Cache RAM disk.
With AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology, the processor can access large cache pools for applications by stacking SRAM blocks on top of the CPU logic die, which houses the CPU cores. Nonetheless, it seems feasible to use this additional level 3 (L3) cache as a RAM disk, in which case the...
Intel Xeon Platinum “Emerald Rapids” 48-Core CPU SKUs 8558P and 8551C Leaked
Further information about Intel’s upcoming 5th generation Xeon Scalable processors, codenamed Emerald Rapids, is emerging from the benchmark submission database Geekbench. We previously discussed the leak of the 48-core Xeon 8558U and the potentially top-tier 64-core Xeon 8592+ Platinum processors. On the other hand, information regarding lower-stack SKUs with up...
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards are being disassembled in special Chinese factories and reassembled as AI-friendly GPUs.
A number of major semiconductor companies, such as NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel, have been severely harmed by the new U.S. government limits on AI hardware exports to China, which prevent them from offering high-performance AI processors for sale in China. Because of their powerful computing power, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4090...
GPUs from the AMD Radeon “GFX12” RX 8000 Series Based on RDNA4 Avail
As part of its ongoing efforts to produce next-generation solutions, AMD’s Linux team has submitted a few intriguing tweaks today, which Phoronix reports made a modest appearance through recent GitHub updates for GFX12 targets.

Intel Verifies 13th and 12th Generation Core Processors Won’t Get the APO Feature
Though they share a nearly identical microarchitecture, the 14th generation Core “Raptor Lake Refresh” processors are distinguished from the 13th generation by a special feature called Intel Application Performance Optimization (APO). APO, or application-specific processor optimization, is software-based and has been found to provide performance boosts of up to 16%...
Prior to export restrictions, NVIDIA is rushing GeForce RTX 4090 orders to China.
It has been reported that NVIDIA is shipping GeForce RTX 4090 GPUs to China quickly in preparation for anticipated export controls.
