With Clawhammer having 512KB of 16-way set associative L2 cache versus Prescott having 1MB of 8-way set associative L2 cache, it should be a pretty good matchup with regards to cache hit rate.

Dale, doubling the set associativity makes up for having half the L2 memory size with regard to cache hit rate? If so, why doesn't everyone go that way and save all that memory space? The logic for 16 way associativity (over 8 way) can't be anywhere near the size of another 512 KB of L2.
