> I think GP was saying... Agree. The article's 2nd para notes "AMD relies on its driver software to make sure that software that benefits from the extra cache is run on the V-Cache-enabled CPU cores, which usually works well but is occasionally error-prone." - in regard to the older, mixed-cache-size chips. > I'm curious to see... Yeah - though I don't expect current-day Ars Technica will bother digging that deep. It could take some very specialized benchmarks to show such large gains. | ||

Some of their writers, who are quite excellent, still do. Others just seem to regurgitate press releases with very little useful investigation. How critical of the lazy writers I am may seem outsized, but I grew up reading and learning from the much better version of Ars -one I used to subscribe to. | ||

I hoping that phoronix will be able to redo the benchmark of the 9950x3D with this new X3D2 variant. I might even shell out for an upgrade to AM5 and DDR5. On the other hand, my 5900X is still blazing fast. | ||
