Should that not be 4x3MB for Yorkfield ?

I do like AMD's new naming convention for the series. It's easy to be underwhelmed by AMD bare figures as they tend to be smaller than Intels, but that does not mean it will not be competitive.

yes but because it is shared between two cores the said 2x6mb (or 3x2x2) the thing is that one core can get a max of 6mb if necesary from the cache
