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 ...

If you're having PC memory issues, you might assume clearing your RAM's cache might sound like it'll make your PC run faster. But be careful, because it can actually slow it down and is unlikely to ...

AMD’s 7800X3D and 7950X3D hold the top spot in CPUs for gaming, not because they have the most cores or the highest clock speeds, but because they have the most cache. But what is CPU cache, anyway?

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 ...

Every single CPU found in any computer, from a cheap laptop to a million-dollar server, will have something called cache. More likely than not, it'll possess several levels of it, too. It must be ...
