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 ...

The dynamic interplay between processor speed and memory access times has rendered cache performance a critical determinant of computing efficiency. As modern systems increasingly rely on hierarchical ...

PrimoCache delivers noticeable speed improvements on systems with ample RAM and slower drives that frequently read and write data, while on high-end systems its main benefit is reducing wear and tear ...

RAM, or Random Access Memory, is what your computer uses to multi-task. Most devices with any kind of computer inside, whether it’s a PC, laptop, smartphone, or game console, will require a minimum ...

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?

Ever since AMD introduced Zen, all CPUs based on the architecture have shown that they are especially sensitive to memory speed, as well as other timings. Using faster RAM could give a sizable ...

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 ...

Cache memory significantly reduces time and power consumption for memory access in systems-on-chip. Technologies like AMBA protocols facilitate cache coherence and efficient data management across CPU ...

The Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities in 2018 exposed computer memory as an easy target for hackers to inject malicious code and steal data. The aftermath spurred the adoption of memory-safe chips ...
