From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

AMD has been putting a lot of L3 cache on their consumer CPUs. The 5800X3D has 96mb of L3 cache.
Yes, that's true. Only if Intel follows the same in future.
On a separate note, 5800X3D seems to be most efficient (throughput/watt) consumer grade CPU out there right now.
Pretty sure the 7800x3D surpasses it and the 7950x3D is no slouch either.
Their top-of-the-range Epyc 9684X has 1152MB :)
That's definitely a CPU for server (unless you are a general consumer with lots of $ 🙂 ).
There definitely are vendors ignoring common sense and putting socket SP5 on desktop boards.
No argument about the price, I think list on these is something like $13k USD.
Man looking at my old 5960x with it's 20mb of cache from 2014, and Intel's current top consumer chip with 36mb.
Crazy to think Intel were 'ahead of the curve' so long ago, those x99 chips are still relevant compared to some AM4 chips.
