We've known with previous versions of K8 that cache doesn't have a huge impact on performance. Perhaps 2-3% on average between 512KB L2 and 1024KB L2. This is strictly my opinion, but I believe the quad core is going to need good bandwidth and a darn good cache prediction to be effective at keeping all four cores munching on data.
