The K6-2 will blow it away (with TWICE the on chip L2 cache that the Celeron A has).

Kevin,

This is probably not correct. K6-2 systems are already benchmarked with large L2 caches. Moving 256K of the L2 onto the CPU die (K6-3)will have minimal (<10%) impact on performance.

There is no reason to expect K6-3 to show the same relative performance gains that the Celeron A demonstrated over it's cacheless predecessor.
