K10 Scores starting to surface

[Lightman]

So basically you're telling me that a 2ghz Barcelona would have the same L3 cache latency (any cache latency for that fact) as a 3ghz Barcelona? Thanks for helping out with this stuff, it's interesting.

I would say opposite, but this is only my opinion....
For me it will be like doing SuperPi with DDR2 667 4-4-4 and DDR2 800 4-4-4 on same CPU.
With faster K10 cores you will get differently clocked northbridge which clocks cache L3. It also will be possible to change cache frequency...

Don't take it as a certain, this is just speculation .
