Cache Capacity

Layer 2 and Layer 3 caches reside in the processor chip. These caches accelerate the processor's ability to receive data. Processors today support caches that range in size from 1 MB to 24 MB or larger. Typically, the larger the processor's cache, the faster the processor will function in a server that runs under high utilization.

Frequently accessed data, which would typically be held in the server's RAM memory, may be partially or entirely stored in the processor's cache memory to reduce the latency of data lookups. The processor will always check its local cache before checking with the server's installed RAM.
