From what i have gathered is the draw back to this method is it takes up a good bit of die space but saves on a larger bus and costly memory. So you take a hit on space but can be cheaper on memory at the expensive of having less space for shaders/gpu power at a given die size.This is a pretty good explanation and gives you enough of what you need to know.
How Does CPU Cache Work? What Are L1, L2, and L3 Cache?
What exactly is CPU cache? Why are there L1, L2, and L3 caches? Here's what you need to know and how they work.www.makeuseof.com
All processors CPU or GPU use caches. The amount at each level impacts the performance of that processor. The more cache you have, the less likely you will have to access slower RAM (or slower VRAM in the case of GPUs).
