PB - RE: "I wish Scumbria to quantify his position on this. In his "memory latency is the performance limiter", he has indicated that increasing cache size going forward will enhance performance characteristics."

I'm sure the extra 256KB will help, but I don't expect it to help as much as the first 256KB did. Diminishing rate of return.

I'm no cpu person by a few million miles, but for one who know may be able to answer - since the cache is going to be double the size and at a very high MHz, will Intel have to raise its current low latency?
