Re: Thus, a 2.0GHz Northwood would probably perform like a 2.2GHz Willamette The rule of thumb is that if you don't quadruple cache, don't bother. Taking P4 from 256K to 1 megabyte of cache would be expected to increase performance by 5%. Taking it to 512K would make a 2GHZ perform like a 2.05GHZ OTOH, P4 crashes so hard when it encounters a stall, that it might be more sensitive to increases in cache size than most processors, so there may well be more of an improvement. I guess we'll soon see. It's a cinch that it won't show anything like the performance improvement of Palomino vs. Thunderbird unless a lot more was done than a half step increase in cache.
