Zusammenfassung:Methods and apparatus relating to leveraging system cache for performance cores are described. In an embodiment, a system cache stores one or more cachelines that are to be evicted from a processor cache. Logic circuitry determines whether to store the one or more cachelines in the system cache based at least in part on comparison of a threshold value with a hit rate associated with the one or more cachelines. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
