Cache
All of the processors shown have extended memory.
Level 2 (L2) cache is built onto the processor. On Older slot-mounted processors, L2 cache was external to the processor die, and ran at slower speeds than the processor. on socketed processors, L2 cache is built onto the processor. If the processor does not find the desired memory locations in L1 cache, it checks L2 cache next. However Processors with larger L2 caches perform most tasks much more quickly than processors that have smaller L2 caches for two reasons. Cache memory is faster than main memory and the processor checks cache memory for needed information before checking main memory.

L2 cache. Today's processors all have some memory on the processor chip (called a die). Memory on the processor die is called Level 1 cache (L1 cache). Memory in the processor package, but not on the processor die, is called Level 2 cache (L2 cache). Some processors use a third cache farther from the processor core, but still in the processor package, which is called Level 3 cache (L3 cache).
Dual Core
Intel processors vary in the number of address lines depending on the architecture and model. For example, the original 8086 processor had 20 address lines, allowing it to access 1 MB of memory. More modern Intel processors, such as those based on the x86 architecture, can have significantly more address lines, enabling access to larger memory spaces, with 64-bit processors theoretically supporting up to 16 exabytes of memory.
in assymetric processor the operating system typically sets aside one or more processors for its exclusive use while in symetric processors are used to get higher levels of performance, any processor here can run any type of thread, they communicate with each other through shared memory
Features of contemporary processors include a dual core and cache memory. They also have transistors for communicating information and instructions at the same time.
Processors do not have permanent memory. When power is not supplied any more they loose all data. But motherboards have a special chip that keeps settings for whole system including CPU. If you need to reset something it would be the motherboard.
