cooldudesubho Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi. I'm so sorry for my ignorance about this subject. But I'm seeing in AIDA64 that my CPU has not enabled the L3 cache, and it should be enabled. I have a Intel Core i5 3550 processor, and the board is a ASUS P8Z77-V. In AIDA64 Extreme Extreme Edition (the last version) under (Computer / DMI / Caches / L3-Cache) it shows: Cache Properties Cache Properties Type Internal Status Disabled Maximum Size 6144 KB Installed Size 6144 KB Error Correction None Socket Designation L3-Cache Anyone knows why? Thank you. If anyone here using any ivy bridge cpu test. http://img204.images.../capturewkg.png damm i messed up the heading of the thread.xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooldudesubho Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 So is my L3 cache enabled?Can it even be disabled in intel cpu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 You can check the L3 cache performance using AIDA64 Cache & Memory Benchmark (AIDA64 / main menu / Tools / Cache & Memory Benchmark). In case your processor have L3 cache enabled, you will see it evaluated there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiery Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 100 MB/sec is very low difference on modern processors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
