1. Re: Does 2 mb cache difference mean a lot in a laptop processor?
ECBowen Dec 28, 2012 10:34 AM (in response to mbrjazz)The amount of cache essentially decides how heavy a load the CPU can take realtime. After the cache is saturated then the system ram is used as cache and that adds to the processing time which essentially lowers the realtime processing load.

mbrjazz Dec 28, 2012 1:56 PM (in response to Bill Gehrke)not really - its in the lenovo systems.
I'm not a hardware guy, so i'll stick to the system instead of building it ;-)

ECBowen Dec 28, 2012 3:47 PM (in response to mbrjazz)Normally I recommend the 3720/3740 over the 3820/3840 because of the price difference. However if you are dealing with heavier codecs or spend allot of time in AE then yes the 2Meg Cache would be worth the difference.
