I find that I hardly ever use this stuff nowadays.

Whoa. Through-hole sockets, DIPs and the “slide it down the socket” trick.
1988 wants its RAM back.

Well, most of the caches that my gear leverages seem to be integrated in, so hardly ever go for expansion caches nowadays.
They were a very interesting piece of kit back in the when, though. Really sped up a low bandwidth system.

486 DX2 66MHz with 512K of cache!

As a memory man, I am hurt.
However much you have, you need more. Please go buy more. At full MSRP. You definitely need more. Low power. High speed. With ECC. 256 GB at least. It’ll fix Kinja and get you approved on every G/O site.
Go now.

Does Nibby ever Intel Optane?

Runs as fast as a Pentium 60 with that extra cache. Baller.

Where’d you get your CPU, in a box of Cracker Jacks?

Remember the fake cache on PC Chips motherboards?

Look at all that cache!
Three levels! Though honestly I always think of L3 cache as some K6-III silliness. If Intel were really good they’d just give me more L2!

Eh... isn’t NVMe the interface for the storage and Optane is the type of storage?

I’m surprised you ended up with a 4770k without knowing (and without overclocking from the looks of things). That’s an enthusiast model.
The short answer with regards to cache is that access to system RAM is really slow (compared to the processor), so there is a cache hierarchy where the CPU tries to store information so it doesn’t have to go all the way to system memory to read/write information that’s used frequently. Starting at level 1, each time you go up a level it gets bigger, but slower, but still much faster than a memory access. Y ou can’t just make the whole thing out of fast L1 cache memory because it would be prohibitively expensive.

Many moons ago I played around with overclocking on an older system where I couldn’t just change th e multiplier.
Then it was time to upgrade and I wanted an unlocked CPU. This one was surprisingly cheap (prices went up a LOT after I bought it, so must have been a mistake). But with the new system I just never felt the need to overclock other than to create some heat and noise.. it is just fast enough.
