What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"

Intel Core i3-3220 CPU Processor

For everyday work on a computer and not very complex tasks, the cache in this processor is enough.
This one is 22nm so I can use my memory at 1600 which is good.
I coupled the 3220 with a mid range video card and 4GB of memory. I'm happy with how it works.
No complaints. I install 32 GB of RAM and the computer flies.
Limited cache. I would like a little more for such a processor.

AMD FX-8350 CPU Processor

Performance for the price, reliability, speed, good sized cache. Great processor.
The cores and cache are strong enough to handle single-threaded applications impressively.
This CPU is definitely powerful. The CPU has a large cache which helps in performance.
Plenty of L2 and L3 Cache. Highly recommend.
Huge cache capacity really allow it to perform under large amounts of pressure.
