    When designing a cache, you have to consider this things:

    Delay. Miss rate. Area.

    If the cache has a bigger block size may have a lower delay, but when miss the miss rate will be costly. If an application has high spatial locality a bigger block size will do well, but programs with poor spatial locality will not because a miss rate will be high and seek time will be expensive.
