As we all know, the processor works much faster with its built in cache then the RAM, ram is slow and far away compared to the built in cache, so i was wondering, why does intel give the i7's only 8mb of cache when the the core 2 extremes had a max of 12mb? Why cant intel just make lets say, 3 version of an i7, one with a low cache for someone with a smaller lower budget, a higher cache for a mainstream guy and a high cache for someone who requires Xtreme performance. After all would'nt you want your services and processes as much as possible in your cache rather than you ram? IMO built in RAM/cache is the future, its way faster.
-Any thoughts?
-I know what cache is but can someone explain in more specifics whats L2 and L3 cache?
