Smart Cache

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article consists entirely of marketing spin that presents a well-known topic in computer architecture and organization (shared caches) that has been around for decades as something novel and unique to Intel processors. 99Electrons (talk) 03:42, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

 * i don't care so much, if it is deleted or not... the CPU cache article gives surely enough details on "shared caches"... maybe i misrepresented "Smart Cache"? and in fact it is more than just a shared cache? i didnt find any notability criteria for technical things... i mean: even if we describe "Smart Cache" properly it might be still irrelevant... --Homer Landskirty (talk) 06:23, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

 * From the white paper cited in the article, "Intel Core microarchitecture shares the Level 2 (L2) cache between the cores." It seems like this is just marketing nonsense for a shared L2 Cache and no real new technology, so this article can be merged with the one on CPU caches.

 * Merge to CPU cache. I would say redirect but I think the article should have been titled "Smart cache" originally – The Grid  ( talk )  13:52, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Merge to CPU cache. The merge proposal was in place before deletion nomination. There was no need to get AfD involved. A WP:TROUT for the nom. ~Kvng (talk) 16:13, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge to CPU cache. As per above. On the bright side, the existing merge proposal is supplanted by this discussion, at least the nominating contributor accelerated the process. Unoc (talk) 16:40, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * There are a lot of things that can be accelerated by threatening to delete but that's not any way to live on an WP:VOLUNTEER project. See also WP:NOTCLEANUP and WP:NODEADLINES. ~Kvng (talk) 17:49, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
