Intel Considers Dedicated Cache Tile for CPUs, but Not Desktops
Intel acknowledges the benefits of dedicated cache but downplays the need for it in desktop CPUs, focusing instead on server/workstation applications.
Intel has hinted at plans to incorporate a dedicated cache tile design, similar to AMD's 3D V-Cache, but not for desktop gaming CPUs. While acknowledging the performance benefits of extra cache, Intel believes it has limited appeal in the desktop market. In an interview with Der8auer and Bens Hardware, Intel's Tech Communications Manager, Florian Maislinger, stated: The AMD CPUs are tailored to a very specific target group and that is gamers...We are aware that this technology can bring a lot to gamers, but that always comes with certain drawbacks...We are aware of this and we still have it technologically. That means that next year there will be a CPU for the first time that has a cache tile, but not in the desktop...In the server, it is simply a different market... While AMD's X3D processors, especially the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, have demonstrated significant performance gains in gaming, Intel remains unconvinced about the technology's relevance for desktop users.
