Some RISC server CPU designs have had L3 for many years. The first consumer CPU that could use an L3 was the AMD K6-III, in 1999. However, it didn't have an L3 cache on the die, but used the motherboard-based L2 cache present on almost all Super Socket 7 motherboards as an L3. It did have on-die L2, and was designed so that it could use the external cache as L3. The first consumer CPU to have on-die L3 was the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, a rebranded Xeon introduced late in 2003 to counter AMD's new Athlon 64. Xeons, which are server CPU's, have had L3 since 2001.

What is the name of the memory cache that is shared by cores in a multicore processor?
L3 Cache
What is the name of the memory cache that is shared by cores in a multi-core processor?
L3 cache
What is the name of the memory cache that is shared by cores in a multie-core processor?
L3 cache
Which type of memory cannot be upgraded without replacing a Processor RAM L1 Cache L2 Cache L3 Cache All of the above?
ram --- Wrong. RAM actually CAN be upgraded without touching the processor. L1, L2, and L3 cache are physically located INSIDE of the processor, so they obviously cannot be changed or upgraded without replacing the processor itself.
What is the name of the memory cache that is on the die as the processor?
L1, L2 and L3 (depending on the age of your motherboard and processor)
What is logical cache?
logical cache is what computer companies call L1, L2, and L3 cache. It is smart memory on the chip or processor that remembers what the processor has ask for the last 10 to 100 processes.
What is a cache outside the processor called?
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).
Is the registry the same as the cache?
No the registry is a place in the processor that does the commands and the math. Cache is where data is stored temporarily so the CPU can access it quickly. There is L1, L2 and L3 cache. Depending on the speed of the processor and the amount of RAM all processors these days have at least L1 cache.
What is level 1 2 and 3 cache?
; L3 Cache (Level 3 Cache) This type of cache is becoming more prevalent as microprocessor manufacturers ship more processors with L1 and L2 cache built into the processor. L3 cache is then the extra cache that sits on the motherboard between the processor and main memory, since the processor already contains L1 and L2 cache. Some processors are starting to ship with L3 cache built-in as well to speed up memory operations further. In those cases the L3 cache often sits on a separate area of the die, not built directly into the chip core.
What is the difference between the three cache memory?
This question should be more specific so that someone can more easily and accurately assist you. However, i will attempt to answer your question assuming that your are asking about the L1, L2, and L3 cache memory types. L1, L2 and L3 (or level 1, level 2 and level 3) are different memories seperate from the processor, but it is the memory more easiest and quickly accessible by the processor, or cpu. These memories are used by the processor to store common instructions, images..etc. so that it can easly and quickly access it whenever required to. First the processor checks the L1 cache memory (usually the level with the lowest amount of memory), if it doesn't find what it needs there then it searches through the L2 and then L3. If what the processor needs isn't in the cache memory, then it will check the HDD and RAM.
Is L3 cache and internal cache are the same?
Not the same.
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?
