A quad-core processor-based system typically uses various types of memory, primarily dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) for the main system memory, which allows fast access for running applications. Additionally, it utilizes cache memory, such as L1, L2, and L3 caches, which are smaller, faster types of memory located closer to the CPU cores to enhance processing speed by storing frequently accessed data and instructions. Other forms of memory, like solid-state drives (SSDs) or hard disk drives (HDDs), may be used for long-term storage but are not directly tied to the processor's core functions.
All of the processors shown have extended memory.
The Intel Core i7 processor contains the memory controller integrated directly within the CPU die. This design allows for faster communication between the processor and the RAM, reducing latency and improving overall system performance. By placing the memory controller on the same chip, Intel enhances data transfer rates and efficiency compared to older architectures where the memory controller was located on the motherboard.
L3 cache
L3 cache
A dual-core system is a system that has a single processor die with two physical cores. Each core acts similarly to it's own processor, so the computational load can be divided, and performance of individual programs will be better.

A single core processor is just that... one processing core. A dual core processor is actually two processing cores on one chip. It is like having two processors in your system, but it is faster than two individual processors.
Dual Core
AMD anthlon x2 dual core. AMD has more quality. Much faster and hold more space/memory. INTEL are OK, but bad. anything AMD is ALOT better!

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).
