Intel® Core™2 Duo L7400
Hardware Prefetcher
The processor has a hardware prefetcher that automatically
analyzes its requirements and prefetches data and instructions
from the memory into the Level 2 cache that are likely to be
required in the near future. This reduces the latency associated
with memory reads.
When Enabled, the processor's hardware prefetcher will be
enabled and allowed to automatically prefetch data and code
for the processor. When Disabled, the processor's hardware
prefetcher will be disabled.
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch
The processor has a hardware adjacent cache line prefetch
mechanism that automatically fetches an extra 64-byte cache
line whenever the processor requests for a 64-byte cache line.
