[Eric, it sounds like you know most of this already, and I apologize if it sounds condescending -- I wrote it mostly for other people reading this thread who don't know about the backside cache.]

Sowbug, whether you are being condescending or not is totally irrelevant to the issue at hand. As you know, there have been a number of rating methodologies that have surfaced over the years, although few have compared the MOT and INTC chips/computers head-to-head. You sound like you understand in detail the entire architecture of a computer. Consequently, I suggest that you posit here on this thread what sort of a rating system would fairly present the attributes of Wintel vs Mac-based systems. I would assume such a rating system would account for all parts of the computer architecture, including the operating system or layers of operating systems as the case may be [I believe that I am dealing with the concept of throughput here, recognizing that different software applications will do better in different environments, but that there is some sort of defined starting point and finishing point]. Then perhaps you could take this rating system and sell it to the Wintel and Mac critics for their use. I really am serious about this.
