How much Cache is good for the Processor to have and exactly what is the term Cache mean?

A cache is a temporary holding place for information. In the case of a processor, the cache is important because the processor is frequently the fastest component in your computer, and so it can use this space to store information while waiting for the rest of your computer to access it. While this information is waiting the processor is then free to work on other things, thus the cache speeds up your overall processing speed. In terms of how much is good, the answer is basically the more the better! Today there isn't just one CPU cache but several, and it ramps up in size; the bigger the final size (L3, currently) the better.

Which memory is in built in CPU?
if you mean processor then cache memory if you mean computer then ROM
What do you mean by on-chip memory in micro controller?
It is integrated with Processor itself. Also called Cache Memory.
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 type of memory is mostly closely connected to the CPU?
In this instance, you likely mean cache memory, though you could mean RAM, particularly DRAM. Cache memory, like the L1, L2, and L3 processor cache, helps to speed up operations between the CPU and RAM.
What does cache capacite mean in french?
cache = hide capacité = capacity
What does cache mes mean?
"Cache mes ..." is not a complete sentence. It means "Hide my ...", the following word must be in plural, if no it would be "cache mon ..." or "cache ma...".
What does le cache mean in English?
Le cache means a mask or an eye patch. La cache means a hiding place.
How microprocessor works without internal memory?
Processors have internal memory-- In the form of the 3 L's. L1 Cache - Usually a very small amount, like 32-128kb, this is the fastest cache, and used to store very small strings of data for immediate use. L2 Cache - The heavy lifter of a processor-- Usually 1-2MB per core. This cache stores more complex values and helps with prioritization of workloads. L3 Cache - Relatively new in the processing world, L3 caches are larger, slower banks of memory in the upwards of 12-18MB used for basically anything not covered by the first 2 caches. If you mean internal memory as in RAM, a processor will not work without RAM.
What you mean by caching?
"Caching" (pronounced exactly like "cashing") is the action of placing things in caches. A cache is a hidden store or supply of something, usually not very large.
What does cache of food mean?
A stored food supply.
Why does Facebook show full pages weird text like a box with f's in it and how can i fix it?
It's hard to tell exactly what you mean, but try clearing your browser's cache and reloading the page, this might fix it.
What do people mean exactly when they say you would look good with so-and-so?
They probably mean that you two would look good as a couple.
