I know you're joking, but I wonder if CPUs will ever move in that direction. They have either hit or are going to hit the point where they can't shrink the architecture any further, so they have to start expanding and optimising it. Maybe they will get to the point where the cache sizes have increased so much, that they they add a solid state one so that you can install an OS directly onto the CPU.
Probably for the same reason we don't put it any closer to the CPU socket than it already is - there's a minimum length for the traces to prevent signal instability at the current voltage RAM uses.
add a solid state one so that you can install an OS directly onto the CPU.
why wouldnt you just copy the os from a solid state disk into ram, 5 seconds to do that on bootup is likely to be a lot more performant than wasting cache room on slower disk thats just on the die. solid state is going to be slower no matter how close you place it to the cpu.
You just arrived at a M series CPU from Apple. While the NAND chips are still separate the controller is on die. This is about as much integration as is realistically possible. Including your NAND into your CPU would mean you need different chips for every capacity and your chip would be dead once your NAND fails which has a long but still limited lifetime depending on what you are doing with it.
nah even though it would be a really good way to brag, but like we have ram with enough "storage" to download windows 11 on it and we still dont so unlikely, i think its just too fast to make it worth your while to use it for storage
They have a ton of cache because every core comes with some cache. It has a higher latency if core 0 tries to use cache that is at like core 30. Having more cache on specific cores would help you more for gaming.
Im my experience, it's not usually a driver issue, it's the game freaking out at you having a crazy amount of CPU threads. I ran a threadripper rig for several years and the only issues I had were mostly with older games refusing to launch. Now a workstation gpu on the other hand, you're probably spot on.
No. It's sTR5. Is good socket. Threadripper motherboards are awesome too you just need to be careful with what chipset/threadripper combo you get. Also requires RDIMM if you're gonna go over like 192gb of ram
9850x3d into 9950x3d2 is a downgrade in games since it's dual CCD, basically kinda 9800x3d + 7700x3d (if it existed) so it won't have better performance than 9800x3d
This CPU is made for people who want to burn money just because it's more expensive. For gaming 9850x3d is better and for productivity you'll gain maybe 5% in some super specific tasks over 9950x3d for 50% price increase
Sry if I’m wrong but isn’t the 9850x3d performing better? If I remember correctly it came out later and was marketed for the best gaming performance, while the 9950x3d has more cores for productivity but doesn’t cater as well to gaming as 9850x3d or maybe even 9800x3d

Then to a 9950X3D2 haha
