Would 3D V-Cache Help Intel CPUs? 14th-gen Cores vs. Cache
"Why doesn't Intel develop their own kind of 3D V-Cache?" It's a thought-provoking question, especially given how beneficial 3D V-Cache has been for AMD Ryzen chips. Let's benchmark and check that out.
South Korea looks beyond NAND, wants tech companies to increase their focus on processors
The big picture: South Korean tech giants like Samsung and SK Hynix have dominated memory manufacturing for decades. However, the country's president thinks the competition in the processor market, where Taiwan's TSMC looms large, has recently become significantly more critical. A new support package aims to increase Korea's competitiveness across the chip industry.
