A resourceful user was able to turn the tiny 3D cache memory built by AMD in its latest consumer processors into a secondary, albeit puny storage unit....
In 2019 cloud providers were already discussing using CPU cache for DB in around 2025 based on AMD server CPU architecture plans. So I imagine this is 1-2 steps below cutting edge technology of what’s going on behind the scenes between top cloud providers and AMD. Still really cool though, but top of the line AMD server CPUs could be doing some insane result retrieval speeds with their large cache.
