The more cache memory a computer has, the faster it runs. However, because of its high-speed performance, cache memory is more expensive to build than RAM. Therefore, cache memory tends to be very ...

When talking about CPU specifications, in addition to clock speed and number of cores/threads, ' CPU cache memory ' is sometimes mentioned. Developer Gabriel G. Cunha explains what this CPU cache ...

When I first built my current PC with the Ryzen 9 5900X, I picked up 64GB of DDR4 memory rated to run at 3600MT/s. At the time, this was the sweet spot for Zen 3 processors, and since I wanted enough ...

To free up RAM in Windows 11, start by auditing startup programs. Open Task Manager's Startup tab and disable anything you ...

Not running compatibility checks across all components is one of the more common PC building mistakes one can make, which can lead to a frustrating experience with returns and further delays for the ...

However, doubling the number of cores will not simply double a computer's speed. CPU cores have to communicate with each other through channels and this uses up some of the extra speed. Therefore, if ...

Last month, we tackled the age-old question of whether RAM speed matters for gaming performance. Using an Intel Core i9 test bed, we concluded that yes, you can see measurable frame-rate gains from ...

If you are unable to increase RAM speed or frequency, first of all, reboot your computer and then check the speed using the command wmic memorychip get speed. Sometimes, a restart is required for all ...

Before we get into content creation, let's start with a synthetic benchmark that measures RAM speed specifically. This'll allow us to see the theoretical maximum performance boost we'd see in a task ...
