Petz,

the conclusion I draw from poor K6-2+/K6-3+ speeds is that AMD is having a hard time getting the cache to run at full speed. Intel recognized this problem early on, which is why CuMines integrated L2 cache actually runs at half speed (but 4X access width of 256 bits).

This seems quite likely at this point...doesn't it. I wonder whether comparisons with the K7 are apples to oranges at this point?

I.e., how much trouble is AMD going to have transitioning to full speed on the Athlon?
