Level 1 (L1) cache
|
–Level 1 (L1) cache is on the CPU itself and store instructions for the CPU. On multi–core systems, each processor has its own L1 cache. Some CPUs have 2 L1 caches, 1 for instructions and 1 for data.
–Smallest cache size –Originally L1 cache was on the CPU. Now all cache levels are on the CPU. |
|
|
L2 cache
|
–L2 cache is additional cache used for both instructions and data. Depending on the CPU, L2 cache might be shared between multiple cores or a single core.
– L2 was on the mobo between the CPU and RAM. Now all cache levels are on the CPU. |
|
|
L3 cache
|
–L3 cache is addition cache that is beyond L2 cache. L3 cache in multi–core systems is shared between all cores.
–Largest cache size –L3 being is on the mobo. |
|
|
Hyper–threading
|
–Hyper–threading is on some intel CPUs that allows for a single processor to run threads (instructions) in parallel, as opposed to processing threads linearly. You can have a processor run 2 threads at the same time. A quad core intel system WITH hyper threading, could run 8 threads at a time (2 on each core).
–Makes the CPU at like there are 2 CPUs. It doesn't work as fast as two. It is about a 15–30% increased performance. XP and later can only use HTT |

|
PGA (Pin Grid Array)
|
–PGA (Pin Grid Array) CPUs have the pins on the CPU
|
|
|
LGA (Land Grid Array)
|
–LGA (Land Grid Array) CPUs have the pins on the mobo
|
