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....
But how does it compare to a RAM disk using “regular” RAM?
Because RAM disks are nothing new. ImDisk is a free and opensource software that lets you easily setup a RAM disk.
I use it when running AI upscaling + frame interpolation programs, as they generate tons of temp files which take up many GBs of space. A RAM disk is not only faster but it prevents battering your SSDs with tons of writes.
