Difference between L2 Cache and Intel Smart Cache

Intel Processor Comparison – Part 14 of 16

Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 use Intel Smart Cache while older processors have been using L2 Cache. I have failed to find anything special in terms of feature of this smart cache. Intel belives that this Smart Cache is smarter than L2 cache but I believe that it is more of a marketing team terminology and is hardly any better than the conventional L2 cache. Please do let me know if you know something better than that about Smart Cache, please do let me know.

  5. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

  6. Incredible! Thank you! I usually required to produce in my website site one thing similar to that. Am i allowed to quote a aspect of the post to my weblog?

    Check this video of Intel. You can have a better ilustration of what it is, the Smart Cache.
    http://www.intel.com/technology/product/demos/cache/demo.htm

    It is just an unified Cache shared by all the cores, in the past there were separate caches memories for every single core, but Smart Cache is one big single cache memory shared by every core in the die. This way, each core can use a wider range of cache in terms of size.
