Scumbria...re:Having a large L2 cache reduces the number of DRAM accesses, and thereby saves power. It will also improve
performance, but the main motivation is power savings.

Scumbria, this sounds like very exciting news to me. AMD appears to be pushing the limits of this technology rapidly and giving Intel fits. Do you have any reason to believe the company will not continue making these great leaps of progress as quickly as they have? Will the increase L2 cache expand the headroom for the Athlon as far as clock speed and what sort of performance improvements would you expect?

Also, does anyone here know of any good info or links for AMD's Flash business? The thread's focus is usually on the processor division, but the flash part of the business is the fastest growing division in the company. This company has a lot going for it.
