Buffer memory data transfer speed calculation?

Question

Years ago I read an article about calculation for transfer speed of processor and main memory when there's buffer (faster) memory between them. But I cannot find that article now. Does anyone know where I can get this article?

Thanks in advance

Maybe one of these is what you are looking for, or can lead you to the actual article (in their reference sections).
