Hi.
I have been looking at the following laptop:
Link
The CPU specs say it is "2.00 GHz, 4 MB L2 cache, 667 MHz FSB"
I am trying to learn more about cache, and I have already searched this forum to find the difference between L1 cache and L2 cache. What I don't understand is why this laptop appears to have no L1 cache?
I understood from the posts I read that L2 cache feeds L1 cache so I can only think that L1 cache isn't needed on this system or that they have just neglected to mention how much of it there is. This seems strange, since L1 cache is faster than L2 cache.
Does anybody have an explanation for why this is?
Thanks
