    Time to play some old Playstation 1 RPGs with horrendous loading times all entirely stored on the L3 cache.

      Until you notice that the insane loading and save times are built into the engine and no SSD can ever change that.

      I’m looking at you, Digimon World 2003.

        When I’m playing old games I sometimes wonder how we ever had the patience for it. Couldn’t play them today if it wasn’t for save state’s.

        The Xeon Max CPUs contain 64GB of HBM2e, which can be configured to act as a cache. You could run a lot of games entirely on the HBM!

        The 7995WX already has 384 MB L3 cache.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if the next gen Thread ripper has 1GB L3.
