Larger the size is better but it is hard to know how much better. Read/Write latency (time) is also an important factor for performance.

What does the 3 MB portion of the processor information mean?

This "3MB" is probably proceeded by "L2 cache" or "L3 cache" Or, its 3GHz. If it is 3MB, then it is referring to the instruction-caching memory that is built right into the processor, a few small panels of extremely fast memory that temporarily store instructions for the processor. The including of cache greatly increased a processors overall performance. The L2 and L3 portion refer to levels of cache. L1 Cache is very small, typically two blocks of 32KB or 64Kb. This Cache is the fastest, used for branch prediction and direct instruction strings. L2 Cache is larger, typically 1MB or 2MB, and also a fair deal slower than L1 cache. L3 Cache is the slowest, and is shared by multiple cores (If there is more than 1) and is the largest cache, typically 3MB - 16MB, depending on the processor. If it is actually 3GHz, then this is the number that reflects the number of Cycles Per Second, or Hertz, that the processor is capable of. 3Ghz is Three Giga-Hertz, or 3,000,000,000 Cycles per Second. Amazing isn't it?


What is the difference between t5450 and t8100 processors?

The main difference is the manufacturing technology. CPUs of the series T5xxx and T7xxx are of the Merom core and manufactured on a 65nm structure. The T8xxx and T9xxx are of the Penryn core and manufactured on a 45nm structure. Because of the reduced structure it was possible to increase the L2 cache by 1MB (on the T8xxx series) resp. 2MB (on the T9xxx series). Difference between T5450 and T8100 T5450: 1.66Ghz, 2MB L2 cache, 667Mhz FSB, Merom 65nm T8100: 2.1Ghz, 3MB L2 cache, 800Mhz FSB, Penryn 45nm these 2 processors are interchangeable because both uses Socket P (Santa Rosa platform).


Will an hd 5770 bottleneck a Pentium dual core e5700 3ghz with 3mb l3 cache?

nope, u will be fine


Which is better Intel i3-3220 3.3ghz 3mb cache or Intel i5-3330 3.0ghz 6mb cache?

The Intel i5-3330 is going to give you better performance. Although the speed of the i3 processor is higher, the i5 is designed with higher performance capabilities.

Is Cache memory generally slower than RAM?

Cache memory is random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. As the microprocessor processes data, it looks first in the cache memory and if it finds the data there (from a previous reading of data), it does not have to do the more time-consuming reading of data from larger memory. Cache Memory generally comes in smaller size (3MB, 6MB etc) than the RAM (512 MB, 1GB,2GB.....)


How many photos can 160GB hold?

Depends on the size of the photo. A reasonable size is about 1-3MB this will give good resolution on a reasonable sized print. 3MB is about the best resolution you get on a good monitor. So between 50 and 160 thousand photos. Some cameras can take up 12 megapixel shots this is about 12MB per shot with this you would get about 13,000 photos.


How much storage capacity does a computer with 3MB of memory have?

A computer with 3MB of memory storage capacity can be limited. This will be the size of a single photo taken it cannot be useful in terms of data storage.
