<Ace's was talking about Exclusive cache, but when they talked about it they expected L2 = L1 size.>

One possibility (assuming that the 64k number is valid) is that AMD looked at the popular benchmarks and decided that 64k does add a significant benchmarking advantage. (I once was part of such a engineering exercise a long while back when Dhrystone benchmark first showedup)

Yeah! I would be looking for some education if there is significant performance increment in real-life applications with an additional 64k.
