Level 3 cache of 486?

ZXNet echo conference «zxnet.pc»

From Nikolaj Amosov To All 30 August 2003

Greetings, All! Today I dug out my old 486 computer from under the bed and decided Check to see if he's still breathing? I launched a test that displays: displays all sorts of information and tests system performance. Bye I was testing the hard drive and decided to click the "Turbo" button. Naturally This changed the speed. Then it was decided to test with with the turbo turned on, and then with it turned off and compare. How can I I was surprised when, with the turbo turned off, I got another one cache: level 1 = 4 kb, level 2 = 8 kb, level 3 = 256 kb, whereas in turbo only: level 1 = 8 kb, level 2 = 256 kb. I’m curious - what is this specific button that I have? The index of the processor has practically no effect, although the speed of working with memory and hard drive increases noticeably in turbo mode... [REAL ZX]

It's not clear what your display meter shows, but the i486 microprocessor has a cache of 8kb common for commands and data (separate for Pentium).
