Can someone tell me what "(cache)" means at the end of "Intel Core i5-4440 Processor 3.1 GHz"? I'm a computer idiot, but am in the market for a new one.

in simple terms it means a holding area for information. The bigger the better.
218866
Cache means how much memory it stores for short term to speed up some processes. "Intel Core i5-4440 Processor 3.1 GHz( cache)" is a typo as it doesn't say how much cache. Other models like this one have 6m cache, so basically standard.

The cache is for storing data and reducing the time for CPU to access memory.

To clarify a bit more. It is an Intel i3-4130T (not just the 4130) there is a difference! The 4130 is a 3.4Ghz (NOT in this model). This model is installed with the 4130T clocked at 2.9Ghz ~ Amazon needs to clarify this in the description as well!

It's 1.4GHz Intel Core i3-2367M Dual-Core. Also, instead of Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 listed it's 3000. Last but not least, this is NOT a FULL HD display. Seller should really pay more attention to specs.

My last self-built PC was for running that Windows 3.1 so please let me ask this stupid question: for $20 more to get 10+% clock speed does it make any big different? Would this 03G-P4-2883-KR generates more heat (and fan noise) than 03G-P4-2881-KR? I am shopping this for my teen son's xmas surprise first power game PC, so please help. Any recommendations for the ultimate matching motherboad/CPU pair up? Thanks guys!

The lesser version has the Intel Core - i5 processor and the higher cost version has the Intel Core - i7 processor. The latter has increased caching and clock speed.

The answer is both yes and no. The actual clock speed of the processor is 2.4 but with a max turbo frequency of 3.4. It is Intel's "Turbo Boost" technology. This link will give you the rundown on the actual chip in this machine http://ark.intel.com/products/75117 . I hope this was helpful Its actually a pretty decent chip-set, i have no complaints and would recommend this machine.

Intel Core i7-3930K Hexa-Core Processor 3.2 Ghz 12 MB Cache LGA 2011 - BX80619I73930K

Intel Core i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30gHz. 6.00GB installed memory. I bought it refurb for use in my summer cottage, where I don't need much in the way of capability. But, to be frank, it easily exceeds every use I have put it to. I usually have two browsers open, each with three panels open and it has not been strained, except that a time or two I have gotten video memory warnings, which I have been able to simply ignore with no detectable consequence. In sum, I'm happy.

Dear Don P. If you are asking about the model NP940X3G-K04US, then this is the 4th Generation I7 Processor for sure. It is clocked at 1.8 MHz However if you are interested in the 4th generation Intel processor make sure that you order this particular model as they are still selling some older 3rd generation based laptops although at much reduced price. Hope this helps.

Yes it is a quad core. http://ark.intel.com/products/71459/Intel-Core-i7-3630QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz. However the operating system it comes with is Windows 8.1 and it's the worst piece of CRAP I've ever had to deal with. I would recommend wiping the operating system and using a more stable version like Windows XP or something. :\

The "K" processors support overclocking, which the ones without the K in the model number do not. There are a couple of other minor differences that you can see here http://ark.intel.com/compare/80811,80810 (if that link doesn't work, go to ark.intel.com and compare them directly).

Hi Andre: My thought is the same as Zach's: what is the specific model number of the Core i5 currently in your Dell? You can find this by right clicking on the "Computer" icon on the main desktop screen, then left click on properties. The screen that opens will give you the specific name of your PC's processor.

The 2 cores listed on the specs is most likely a typo. It is in fact a quad core i5.

Hi yeah Ive seen that too. The model I purchased is a core i5. Hope that helps
