Elmer, <<ME: "Performance improvement of TBird is underwhelming, but I'm not sure KT133 is to blame. Most benchmarks have been for games where most of the instructions/data fit in the L1 cache anyway. Scumbria predicted TBird would not be much faster than classic">>

YOU: Interesting to note that you can say this and not get attacked

TBird lowers cost by at least $20, but the real benefit is higher MHz. The performance improvement was low enough that I wonder whether TBird really uses half clock speed on the cache to raise its yield. Such a cache would still have improved latency vs. Athlon Classic. Neither the Techdocs nor the press release claims the L2 is "full speed," rather it is termed "performance enhancing on-chip L2 cache memory."
