Scumbria, re: <Athlon has a core which runs at one speed, and an L2 cache which runs at a slower speed. PIII uses the same clock speed for the core and L2 cache.

Does that mean that AMD is being dishonest in rating Athlon MHz?>

Actually, the Coppermine uses an L2 cache whose clock speed is 1/2 the CPU speed (but 256 bits wide instead of 64).

No, neither is dishonest.
