Imagine we have a single core chip with a L1 cache. How does the access time of the L1 cache limit the maximum frequency that can be achieved with the core?
Is there some kind of formula that can be used to calculate the frequency of a core, taking the access time in account? So for example if the access time is twice is high, would the frequency be twice as low?
So far I've read that the access time is 1/frequency, is this correct?
Thanks in advance.
