Barcelona got 1mo L2 Per core (512X4+2)/4.
Now compare any E2160 with E6600 at 333X9 and 333 ram, next try at same cpu freq but 666 ram or less. You'll see an hudge improvement for the E2160, and just a little for the E6600.
AMD is just launching this young boy, improving the caches size and frequency is already programmed.
I would like to see the barca with 4X2MoL2 and 8Mo L3 at start, but no ... no dreams yet
As I'm sure you remember from pioneering the gigabyte 939 board, memory and timming are very important. Seem to remember a few wr going to cpus running 200-300 mhz slower than the previous record, but with higher memory clocks. You can make up for a lot with a memory speed advantage.
