Hello, all.
For now, I am waiting for the H370 motherboards to arrive in stores. But I have just observed right on Intel's page that while all the 7th generation CPU's and below have "Smart Cache", the 8th generation says nothing about that.
For example:
KL i5 7500 - 6 MB Smartcache
CL i3 8100 - 6 MB Cache
CL i5 8400 - 9 MB Cache
i5 7500 has Smartcache, meaning (please correct me if I'm wrong) that all the 6 MB of cache can be used by any single core, by two, three, or all four. The Smatcache is like a memory pool that either core can use simultaneously.
What about the i3 8100? Still 4 cores... Still 6 MB of cache, but not "Smart" cache. Does this mean that each core is limited to its own share of 1.5 MB of cache?
Thank you!
