gokusgrill Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 how much does cache amout effect performance. like we will soon go from the 800 series to 900 and i noticed the cache is doubling again. lets say we have a D 820 processor with 1 mb cache for each processor. if the cache was to be doubled and nothing else changed, how much more performance would you get?

BTSchnarfy Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 I don't hink there would be enough of an improvemwnt to warrent upgrading, if that's what you're asking. However, the amount of performance increase would probably depend on how much the latencies went up as well. The cache is kinda like RAM - the lower the amount, the lower the timings (or latencies).

gokusgrill Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 no i just wanted to know how much it helps by itself im not gonna do that by myself lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty11212 Posted January 3, 2006 Posted January 3, 2006 the addition of more cache will only be good only if the timings of it are low, otherwise it will bottleneck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyBalrog Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 try shortcircuts . com i think they did a side by side for the 500 and 600 seriers. basicly no gain, more zise, more latency... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gokusgrill Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 ok ill try that place thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMB3017 Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 It depends on what applications you are using. For gaming, it might not make a big difference, espically with high-CPU speed. However, more cache is good for video/audio editing, and with lower-CPU speeds, such as laptops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
