Intel Mesh Interconnect Gen 1 from Skylake X ERA 2017
Legendary Intel Mesh Interconnect used on our Skylake X through Sapphire Rapid almost L3 cache bound. In most intensive computation via Intel AVX512 instructions. The bound cause insufficient cache size to do 2 and above complex instructions on once time. Limited L3 cache size maybe bring pipeline stalling on port 0+1 and sometime also bring other output on port 5 slowing down following at last.
Intel continuing increse L3 cache from generation by generation
After debate on many CPU engineering forum. Finally Intel had been grant to increse L3 cache size over Emerald Rapid to fixing L3 cache bound issue. These may eliminate AVX512 issues above nearly 100%.
Finally The L3 cache size being bigger than L2 cache fixing all L3 cache bound issue.
Intel going to show its " Emerald Rapid CPU " on Intel Innovation 2023 Forum next month. Let's see the best of mesh interconnect over ringbus after 7 years release to public since Skylake X microarchitect.
