One of the most important parts of a processor is the buffer memory, also called the cache. What is it responsible for and how does it work?

PrimoCache is designed to boost the performance of hard drives and SSDs by using fast cache memory. It works by using your RAM or secondary SSD to temporarily store data you use a lot.

ZeroPoint’s CacheMX, which works at the cache level, is IP that’s included with a processor’s IP. The lossless compression system also manages the compressed data (Fig. 1).

AMD introduced its 3D V-Cache technology in 2022, with a new packaging solution that stacks additional layers of cache memory on top of the CPU.
