Because AMD is killing off 1MB l2 cache x2s: http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=2858
Desperate move.
Considering AMD Procs don't benefit much from the extra 512Kb Cache. it isn't that bad of an Idea...:fact:Quote:

The answer is a most definite no. 90nm and a stock e6400 blows away an fx-60, even oc'd to 2.8: http://www.pconline.com.cn/diy/evalu...791941_15.html
Thats why I'll w8 for 65nm Rev G :cool:Quote:

Z-Ram has more to do with Massive Caches like L3, mostly because that is where it shines.. Small Caches it actually performs worseQuote:

Sorry but with all do respect when does performance not matter?Quote:

There hasn't been any word on the possibility of AM2 opterons, has there?
i would hope, for the "4x4" line it would be an excellent selling point for low-end workstations/servers, especially since it's been said that so far, only the FX line will work...Quote:

This crummy architecture they called the Pentium 4, they struggled with. They're now introducing a new set of products, but it's still the same basic architecture. They have a better core, but I think what's happening is the battle is no longer about the core. Customers are looking for architectural performance, innovation.
So, Pacifica for socket 939, right?
No Pacifica WILL NEVER become part of s939Quote:

Instead, hence forth improving IO and adding features for servers. The only agenda for core was to add more of them. Thanks to Intel, there will be IPC improvements in K8L. The scary part is that interview is recent and he's still preaching no more core.
