An L2 cache is a small amount of RAM built directly into the processor. This memory is faster than the main system memory. It is used so that the processor doesn't have to fetch data from main memory as often, and thus making many tasks on the computer, such as Video Games and editing faster. A 6 MB L2 cache is considered good by today's standards.

Which CPU's are the most efficient per watt?
Instead of buying an i5-750, you should consider buying a more energyefficient Xeon X3323:Much more l2 cache 6 MB vs 1 MB 6x more l2 cache; more data can be stored in the l2 cache for quick access laterMuch lower typical power consumption 65W vs 122.45W More than 45% lower typical power consumptionMuch more l2 cache per core 1.5 MB/core vs 0.25 MB/core 6x more l2 cache per coreMuch lower annual home energy cost 19.27 $/year vs 42.81 $/year 2.2x lower annual home energy costMuch lower annual commercial energy cost 70.08 $/year vs 122.73 $/year Around 45% lower annual commercial energy costBetter performance per watt 1.67 pt/W vs 0.89 pt/W More than 85% better performance per watt
Difference between T4200 Processor and T6400?
The difference is that the Core 2 DUO E7500 Is much faster and is dual cored. Single core are slower and very harder to operate. Dual core and higher is MUCH faster and easier to operate in computers. Although, they are a little more expensive.
What CPU should you buy?
Should I buy a Intel core i5-4670k quad-core desktop processor 3.4 ghz 6 mb cache that is $391 or a Intel core i5-4670k quad-core desktop processor 3.4 ghz 6 mb cache $274
What difference between dual core and core 2 duo and centrino processor and which is best?
Core 2 Duo processor has 2, 3, 4 or even 6 MB Cache, depend on the product code. The cheapest C2D has 2 MB cache. Compare to Pentium Dual Core, which has 1 MB cache, you might think, C2D is a better choice. From various benchmark, having extra 1 MB cache might improve the performance of the CPU up to 10%, depend on application. However, C2D currently running on 800, 1066 and 1333MHz FSB. Compare to Pentium Dual Core, it is limited to FSB 800 only. This limitation is an advantage for Pentium Dual Core if you want to overclock it to 1333 MHz FSB without much problem, since most of current mobos run at 1333 MHz. For most users who do not care about overclocking, having faster FSB might improve their system responsiveness.
What are the characteristics of the processor Core 2 Duo?
The processor Core 2 Duo uses a duo core system that enhances the processing power and efficiency of a computer compared to the single core processor. The Core 2 Duo includes up to 6 MB of shared L2 cache and 1333 MHZ Front Side Bus. These features lead to 50 percent lower energy cost, better multitasking capabilities, enhanced processing speed, and improved execution time all of which lead to a more efficient computer.
How many megabytes in 6 gigabytes?
There are 1024 megabytes in a gigabyte. 6 times 1024 and you get 6144 megabytes.
How much space is 6 GB?
There are 1024 Megabytes in 1 Gigabyte. 6144 Megabytes in 6 Gigabyte. Therefore 6 Megabytes equals 0.005859375 Gigabytes.
How many megabytes in 6GB?
There is 1024mb (megabytes) in 1Gb (gigabyte) So there are 6144mb in 6gb (1024 x 6)
Is 6 megabyte heaps?
no not at all windows xp is around 6 gb or 6000 megabytes, in storage space.
What is the difference between core-2 due and quad?
Core 2 Duo or Dual CoreThe Core 2 Duo is Intel's second generation (Hence, Core 2) processor made for desktops and laptops designed from the ground up to be fast while not consuming nearly as much power as previous CPUs, Dual core is simply a generic term referring to any processor package with two physical CPUs in one. Dual Core is better because it has 2 processors. The more the better. (Dell has a Quad Core, 4, processor computer and Mac has a Dual Quad Core processor, yes 8 processors). The main difference is that core duo is 32-bit processor, where as Core 2 Duo is 64-it processor, also for Core 2 Duo, the cache memory is 4MB compared to 2MB of Core Duo.--------------------------------------------------------------Samkad -Lets try to make it clear -Dual core and Core2 Duo both use 2 cores to process instructions..... good.... ok... but what's the difference then...Well... the main difference is in the cache memory they use.....The Dual Core processors use single cache shared between the 2 cores... plus, the size of this cache memory is usually less as compared to Core2 Duo ones (typically in size of 128 KB to around 512 Kb or 1 MB)......On the other side Core 2 Duo processors also use 2 cores but they have dedicated cache memory assigned to each of the core. so in effect there are two cache memories (note - in case if you don't know what exactly cache memory is - its a static memory - Static RAM - which is costly - and charged per KB size - because they are embedded into your processors.... and your processor stores instruction set into these cores and also info of frequently accessed memory locations so that it doesn't need to go to your main memory - RAM - on motherboard - every time and search indexes to get these locations. The result is - your access time is greatly reduced.. ok.. enough of info... lets get back to main topic)... so, the more cache your processor has got, the more costly will it be and more info can it store and faster will it become.... coming back to Core 2 Duo processors.... the cache size is typically 1 MB to up to 4 / 6 / 8 /12 Mb of size. so if a core 2 duo processor config states 4 Mb of cache, then effectively your 2 cores will use 2 Mb each... now you can make out the difference in speed between a dual core using 512 cache and a Core 2 Duo using 4 Mb of cache... and the same reason why core 2 duo processors are costly and more faster (about 40 %) than the dual core ones...Finally... to summarize, dual core procs (less cache size and that too shared cache between two cores) are strip in version of Core 2 Duo procs (more cache size and independent cache between each of the two cores), which make Core 2 Duo procs costlier and faster than Dual Core procs... so the winner is Core 2 Duo (and its comes with a price...)hope everyone is clear now....lets make it simple............cheers,Samkad
