The more cores a CPU has, the more cache memory it needs, since increasing the number of cores increases the "competition" between the cores for access to RAM. And with a larger amount of cache, more data is copied in advance from RAM to cache and read directly from it by the cores, thus preventing cores from idling (and consequently losing performance) due to delays in accessing data in main RAM. With the EPYC 9965 CPU (192 cores), AMD did exactly the opposite of what logic... Read more Weiterlesen...
