How big is the insufficient output with only 1MB Cache ? My ambition is, to get a high Faktor
"WU's/consumption".

I know such influence:

but in dont found this comprised with BOINC. The intention is a low power PC whith a appreciable output. At the moment my PC (with a E4400 with 2950 Mhz and vcore 1,24 V) need approximate 105 W.

perhaps can someone help me with informations referring to this ?

I can't provide exact numbers, but a bigger L2 cache does have a big influence on performance in protein folding. On folding@home it nearly doubles the performance to have more than 2MB of L2 Cache.

i have an E6420 @3.2GHz (2MB per core here): https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/show_host_detail.php?hostid=481396

Taking a page of results from yours gives an average of 17.88 credits/hour
(from: sum(results)/sum(time)*3600)

Mine gets 22.31 c/h but is running faster, so:

22.31 / 3.2 x 2.95 = 20.57 credits/hour.

I don't know how representative those samples are, and if you're running much software on yours it might reduce the score due to cache-thrashing, but it looks like the extra 1MB is worth around 13% from these numbers.

This is a great artical it has all the comparisons of all the new cpu with their TDPs.

This artical has both old and new model comparisons including AMDs and Intels cpus with their l2 cache and prices.
