...is there much difference between 2MB and 4MB of L2 cache?

Yes. I don't know how it works exactly, but processor companies are investing heavily in 2 things now. Whereas before they used to care about clock speed, since we are reaching the theoretical limits of silicon (though some researchers at UGA managed to use germanium to create a 500GHz processor), now, more and more time is being invested in creating more processing cores and more cache memory. So it would only make sense that it is most definitely important and will make a difference (I don't mean like a 50% difference, but maybe like a 5-15% difference, though I am merely speculating). Look it up on wikipedia, I'm sure that is much more helpful.

the time-honored aspects for useful gaming is a million) The pics card, 2) RAM, 3) CPU. The extra extreme the game the further call for on the GPU The max quantity of RAM you'll use is likewise dependant upon how a lot RAM the game will take advantage of for the time of a consultation. The CPU is frequently there to manage the person interface, substitute of archives to/from the HDD and time-honored operation. If I were going to bypass for a huge replace, it would want to contain the motherboard and a speedier CPU.

yes the cpu cache memory is the most important however, to notice a difference 1) the processor must be being driven very hard and 2) you are doing the expected things i.e. you carry out the instructions the computer expects you to (otherwise the cache is a waste of time)

Hi!
Well, it's double. Cache is used to speed up CPU (to decrease CPU latency time).
You can definitely see it!
Good luck!
