Better prefetching won't add much of a boost to the K8, which already has low latency to main memory, and has a small L2 cache.

According to your link, Hans doesn't think much of the opinion of your 'lurking architect' either:

1) The picture used (blue single core) is not a Rev.G it is a
manufacturing prototype which will never go into production.
The empty area below L2 is really empty.

2) The encircled area's are: MicroCode Flash, 2xTag-Rams, 8kB ECC.
Not complex decoders or buffers.

3) Rev. G is supposed to be a dumb shrink. Thus, using scaled copies
of the HiP8 megacells. The blue single core uses all new megacells
from the IBM alliance and is a major re-layout, not a dumb shrink.
