We know for a fact that when we disable the cache of the processors their performance plummets, so the question is how much of computation is brand new computation (never seen before)?

While true, a small technical nitpick is that the cache also contains data that’s previously been loaded and reused, not just as a result of a previous computation (eg your executable program itself or a file being processed are examples)
