Hello,
What does having a 512kb cache mean? Is that good or bad?

Hello,

The cache stores frequently used bits of data and instructions for better performance because it's faster than RAM (Random access memory). L1 is better, then L2, and sometimes L3 cache. L3 cache can come embedded on the motherboard or can be embedded on a CPU die. To be honest I've ever used a computer with L3 cache before. :lol:
