I'm on Microsoft edge. I know clearing history can help protect your information and refresh some pages that are having issues loading, but other than that do you really ever need to clear browser cache/history? Does browser history itself take up space/resources somehow? Say for example over...

Apart from amount of cores and frequency, is the CPU cache amount important for gaming. for example, how much difference would a a 12 mb cache make compared to a 16 mb cache?

Hi, Why aren’t the L1 and L2 cache sizes not getting any bigger with new CPUs especially in 2020 and beyond? Would it not help with the performance if you increased L1 and L2 by a little or to the next size amount? lastly, why are 8 cores 16 thread CPUs L1 and L2 kind of low of a size for cpus...
