AMD Unveils New Ryzen V-Cache Details at HotChips 33:

AMD gave us more information about its upcoming V-Cache at Hot Chips this year, the annual conference where semiconductor engineers from all over the industry come together to crow over disclose details regarding their technical achievements in the past 12 months.

Earlier this year, AMD announced that it would not advance directly from Zen 3 to Zen 4. Instead, it would iterate on the Zen 3 core by stacking a full 64MB of 7nm L3 cache vertically on the core. AMD claims this can improve performance by up to 15 percent based on 1080p gaming results. The improvement in other applications is unknown.

    My work has been trying to buy servers for a server refresh project ever since the EPYC 73F3 was announced for general availability. Our last update from the vendor is, "some time in December". 16 and 24 core are available now, though. We ended up pre-ordering to (hopefully) ensure our place in line.

    * 32 core high frequency due to optimizing for software license policies.
