This isn't really a Linux/Unix specific question, but I'm hoping people here will have some insight into the question.
I'm looking at problems where I could really use low latency random access to relatively small (order of megabytes) of data. DRAM access times are too slow. So far my tests show on chip L2/L3 speeds might be good enough. It looks like current desktop CPUs have as much as 6Mbytes of L3, while standard server CPUs can be found with as much as 8Mbytes. Is this an accurate portrayal of the current landscape? Any idea on what future plans are for the Intel/AMD CPU duopoly in this area?
