A question as I'm not that familiar with the Intel terminology: What does it mean that they dropped the "SmartCache"? Is the newer cache not smart anymore or did it just become standard? Or is Smart actually worse?
- Declanomous 10y agoI don't think they actually dropped SmartCache. SmartCache is just a way of saying that all of the cores share the same cache space. (Generally, the cache is divided equally among each core for multi-core processors.) The Kaby Lake architecture is basically the same as the Devil's Canyon architecture with some minor tweaks, so there is basically no chance they changed how caching works, as that would be a really major change. Chances are the person in charge of adding information to ARK doesn't have the ability to release or verify all of the info yet.
