Ten, The latency of the on-die L2 cache is eight clock cycles. This is true for Coppermine; I think it's also true for Mendocino (Celeron) and Dixon (Mobile Pentium II). This is better than the off-chip L2 cache of Pentium III, which I think was at least 18 clocks. Xeon's L2 latency is somewhere between 8 and 18. I don't know what Athlon's L2 latency is, but I'll bet it's comparable to Pentium III. Why so slow? Speed/power tradeoff dictating that it has to be low power because it's so big, ergo low speed?
