Some AMD engineering samples with strange performance figures have been popping up in the UserBenchmark database recently. In an effort to put those results in perspective, AdoredTV just uploaded a video that starts with a brief history of CPU memory hierarchies. Then, he attempts to analyze just what’s going on with the AMD engineering sample’s inconsistent latency curves. Check it out in the video below:



A look back to the early days of cache-less computing, to what’s coming next with Zen 2.
