Each level is ranked according to priority of access; Level 1 (L1) cache stores data that the CPU needs to access first. L1 cache is also the fastest but holds the least amount of data, with each following level decreasing in speed but increasing in capacity.)

Q: Did these ever go on sale? I've been watching the site and they were never available.

A: Yes and No. I was monitoring multiple sites including Best Buy... I think a lot of insiders made purchases leaving the grand majority of us to wonder. For a minute I had one in my cart then it just disappeared. Hopefully they will restock soon.

Q: would this be compatible with another 4080 video card? different brand.

A: Yes it would be. I have this cpu anda asus 4080

Q: will this fit the PRIME B550 PLUS mother board ??

A: I am pretty sure the Asus B550 Prime Plus motherboard is a AM4 socket and this CPU is a requires a AM5 motherboard. So the answer is NO. Sorry
