Where is L2 cache located in Pentium system question?
In the Pentium series of CPUs, only Level 1 (L1) cache was manufactured on the CPU die itself. L2 cache (if it was needed or desired) consisted of SRAM chips mounted immediately next to the CPU socket on the motherboard.
Does an Intel Pentium III processor have an L2 cache?
Yes.
What was the first microprocessor to include both an L1 and L2 cache with CPU?
The Pentium Pro had both an L1 and an L2 cache on the CPU.
What was the first Intel processor to contain external cache?
The first processor to contain L2 (external) cache was the Intel Pentium Pro.
What is the name for the bus that connect the l2 cache to the CPU inside the Pentium ii processor housing?
ATC (Advanced Transfer Cache) bus
What is the main differences between Celeron and Pentium class of processors?
Celerons have a smaller amount of L2 cache.
What would be considered a major design difference between Pentium 1 and Pentium 2 processors?
On the Pentium II, the L2 cache is integrated into the processor packaging, rather than on the motherboard. This allows the L2 to be accessed much faster, and improving overall performance.
Intel's new 600 series Pentium 4 processors boast an impressive L2 cache?
Yes it is 2mb!
What is a type of L2 cache contained within the Pentium processor housing that is embedded on the same core processor die as the CPU itself?
Execution Trace Cache
What was the first Intel CPU to contain an external cache?
The first Intel CPU to feature external cache was the Intel Pentium Pro. External cache is also referred to as L2 cache, while internal cache is called L1 cache.
What is the difference between the locations of discrete L2 cache and advanced transfer cache?
On-Package L2 cache (discrete L2 cache) is on a separate microchip within the processor housing, while Advanced Transfer Cache (ATC) is located directly on the same die as the processor core.
What is the name for the bus that connects L2 cache to the processor inside the Pentium II processor housing?
back-side bus
