QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading computing, networking, and storage solutions innovator, today released its first full 10GbE L3 Lite managed switch, QSW-M3224-24T. Featuring twenty-four 10G Multi-Gig ports, L3 Lite management capabilities and MC-LAG network redundancy, QSW-M3224-24T assists enterprises in deploying stable and efficient mid to large-scale high-speed network infrastructure, accelerating 4K video streaming and AV-over-IP applications.

"As enterprises grow in scale and the number of networked devices increases, the demand for switches also escalates, making the management of large network infrastructure more complex and challenging." said Jerry Deng, Product Manager of QNAP, adding "as QNAP's first L3 managed switch offering multi-port 10GbE networking and advanced L3 management features, QSW-M3224-24T not only fulfills the needs of low-latency and high-density 10G network applications, but also supports advanced IP routing and network segmentation management. QSW-M3224-24T is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises to expand their LAN efficiently and securely within a limited budget."

AMD is preparing to release its next generation of high-performance CPUs, the Ryzen 9000X3D series, and rumors are circulating about potential increases in stacked L3 cache. However, a recent report from Wccftech suggests that the upcoming models will maintain the same 64 MB of additional 3D V-cache as their predecessors. The X3D moniker represents AMD's 3D V-Cache technology, which vertically stacks an extra L3 cache on top of one CPU chiplet. This design has proven particularly effective in enhancing gaming performance, leading AMD to market these processors as the "ultimate gaming" solutions. According to the latest information, the potential Ryzen 9 9950X3D would feature 16 Zen 5 cores with a total of 128 (64+64) MB L3 cache, while a Ryzen 9 9900X3D would offer 12 cores with the same cache capacity. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is expected to provide 96 (32+64) MB of total L3 cache.

Regarding L2, the CPUs feature one MB of L2 cache per core. Perhaps the most exciting development for overclockers is the reported inclusion of full overclocking support in the new X3D series. This marks a significant evolution from the limited options available in previous generations, potentially allowing enthusiasts to push these gaming-focused chips to new heights of performance. While the release date for the Ryzen 9000X3D series remains unconfirmed, industry speculation suggests a launch window as early as September or October. This timing would coincide with the release of new X870 (E) chipset motherboards. PC enthusiasts would potentially wait to match the next-gen CPU and motherboards, so this should be a significant upgrade cycle for many.
