Here you can read up on what the "sets" "ways" and "words" are

Its basicly a way for the computer to store and retrieve information inside an three dimensional array.
The only difference betweeb the pictures is the state the cache is in,one is in the generic "state" state(they just don't specify in what state its in and just say that there is a state) and the other shows to be valid
You can read here what the states are and what they mean
