Its to do with the Processor itself, It means it has a level 1 cache size of 128KB, which is memory located on the CPU itself so it can transfer recently used data faster.

128KB is a pretty standard rate for the level of CPU you are buying as you'll see here in this example:

So to summarise, its not too low, but its definitely not a high amount, but thats fine since y ou wont be using it for loads of mental programs and games etc.
