guys, unsay difference sa C2Q nga 4mb L2 cache v.s. sa 12mb L2 cache

maka effect bana sa gaming, video editor & convertion(adobe after effect and photoshop)?? plano ta ko palit then focus ko sa processor ug video card ron...

ty.

having larger cache improves heavy gaming and applications like rendering... but the improvement from having 6mb to 12mb is not really that big of a margin...

mao na ang factor...better cache have better results...

kanang core2quad is two pieces of core2duo. meaning if ang core2quad has 4mb l2cache, it is 2pieces of 2mb to total 4mb, so basically ang pinaka taas ma access nga l2cache ana is only 2mb. kanang 12mb is two pieces of 6mb total of 12mb. mas maayo taas ang l2cache for gaming. i think 6mb to be shared by two cores is good enough, negligible na tingali ang higher pa ana.

Cache is used for storing data so that the processor does not have to wait for your RAM. It is much much faster than RAM para dili mo stall imong processor if full or busy imong RAM.

Bigger is better!

Sakto ni bai kay the data gikan sa RAM mu agi paman gud sa bus.

Frequently accessed applications are cached, thus giving you faster response.. mas dako, mas maayo, daghan sya ma pundo..

sakto ang mga giingon sa mga istoryans sa taas..the larger the cache the better...
pero i'm guessing what you want to know is how much is the difference...to give you an idea here is a comparison...

thnx for sharing info guys..bisan mahal

so ok ra diay kung 6mb lng kay gamay ra difference sa 12mb?ty

ok ra ang 6mb sa core2duo e8400 coz ang 6mb is shared between the 2 cores so one of the cores can access up to 6mb while the other core fights for its share.

ang 6mb sa core2quad q9400 is lahi lang coz duha na ka 3mb
3mb shared between two cores - max 3mb accessible for one core while the other core fights for its share
3mb shared between the other two cores
