Re: Low latency benefits the Athlon more than the P4. With the larger cache...

P4 is still stuck with an 8-way cache, while Athlon has a 20-way cache. P4's cache is simple, but fast, which is apparently needed to keep bubbles out of that long pipeline. With its limited set associativity, making the P4 cache much larger will be of limited use.

Maybe Intel can add some L3 with better associativity.
