L2 cache
10:49am, 27th February 2008
Intel’s new Penryn-based Core 2 processors have as much as 12MB of L2 cache on the CPU. Considering my 2005-era Athlon 64 only has 512KB, that’s a lot - a 2500% boost in 3 years. So here’s the deal:
Dear Lazyweb, please write software to mount L2 cache as a drive à la RAM disks. Not for any particular reason. Just to do it.
I’ll use that l2disk to store SFCave.
Hey, I’m that good at it.
