[QGIS-Developer] CPU L3 Cache Effect

[Eric]

Hello everyone,

Apologies if this isn't the correct forum but I have a theoretical question that hasn't been asked before anywhere as far as I can tell.

I'm building a new computer for GIS, and trying to pick out a processor. AMD CPUs now have a version which includes an L3 cache which is 2-3x larger than normal. I'm wondering what effect this would have on QGIS performance, if any.

Logically, I would think that this could be a big advantage in the same way that more RAM is, but I don't understand the inner workings of QGIS well enough to say for sure whether it would be worth the added investment.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Eric
