Now I wonder... As I remember P-3 Coppermine was up to 30% faster the Katmai having only half cache size of Katmai (but at full speed). And Tualatin (512Kb) has increased the perf. by another 10-20%...
iirc there were some pretty significant core differences between Coppermine and Katmai as well, so you cant attribute the full performance difference only to the L2 design.
All along the watchtower the watchmen watch the eternal return.
