What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"

AMD FX-6100 CPU Processor

Thanks to the big cache memory and turbo technology.
That's a good amount of cache, considering the price.
Great for multi tasking, data processing, editing, and other various tasks. Good total cache.
Energy efficient, powerful CPU, unbeatable price for 6 cores. Great L3 cache. I like it.
I used this CPU when upgrading my computer. Massive cache on this.

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Processor with Wraith Spire

Built a system with this CPU. Great memory.
It does need DDR4 RAM, which costs more than DDR3 RAM, but then DDR4 is much faster.
It's so much faster and smoother when playing my games and other intensive tasks it hit it with easily. DDR4 RAM is great.
Ordered a 2X4GB DDR4 ram sticks. Nice for this CPU.
The only complaint I would have is that it requires a lot of memory. Make sure you buy good RAM sticks.
