Maybe a big L2 cache is nice, but overall performance is all that really matters. I suspect the figures we have seen are from running the chip hot with a fancy cooler. Gamers won't be able to overclock much and regular people will have heat and noise to deal with. Just a hunch, we'll see in a few weeks. I'm going to buy a ryzen setup if they are not awful.
- jackmott 10y agoa big l2 cache will tend to lead to good overall performance. In that it will positively impact the performance of a wide range of programs. Especially ones that adhere to common OOP or functional programming practices. (Pointer hopping, virtual functions, linked lists, etc) Games or other carefully tuned programs that carefully lay out data in memory may not be much affected I guess.
