Question about the CPU cache

[Amrath]

Hey guys,

I don't know much about computers yet and this might be a strange question but maybe someone can help me. When Intel says a Haswell 4 cores CPU has 8mo of cache L3/LLC, is that cache shared between all the cores (8mo total) or does each core has its own cache (32 total)?

Sorry again if that's a noob question. Have a great day!

Shared L3 cache. It's MB (megabytes) - mo is the guy who designs the Intel caches.

 

[VirtualLarry]

French people call "MB" (megabytes) "Mo" (mega octets).

Its total size. Also shared with the IGP.
