Hello guys...Can any1 tell what the difference between l2 cache 12mb,l2 cache 6mb and l2 cache 4mb?
I am not that good at this staff so any help would be rly helpfull
basically, cache is sort of the amount of memory that is avalaible on the cpu itself, the cpu will first scan this before executing any processes, then it'll look at the ram and then the hard drives/ ssd....the difference between l1 cache, l2 and l3 cache is both the speed and storage space...l1 is the smallest/ fastest, l2 is bigger than l1/ slower than l1, and l3 is the biggest and slowest. The amount of these will determine on how the cpu will fare on processes it hasnt seen before...after some times, executing the same process (say launching a game) will be stored in either of these caches (depending on the frequency of use, size of execution etc) and the cpu will be able to carry out the task faster
the more cache, the faster the processor overall since it can store more stuff...
