WP Memory Type
The WP (write-protected) memory type is used for cacheable memory for which reads can hit
the cache and read misses cause cache fills, while writes bypass the cache entirely. WP memory
can be viewed as a combination of WT memory for reads and UC (nonexistent) memory for
writes.
Note that the WP memory type only protects lines in the cache from being updated by writes. It
does not protect main memory.
6.3.5.
WB Memory Type
The WB (writeback) memory type is writeback memory that is cacheable in any cache. The WB
memory type is processor-ordered. The WB memory type is the most cacheable and the highest
performance memory type, and is recommended for all normal memory.
