Ali,

<Mendocino's lower-latency on-chip cache does prove that latency does matter in terms of real-world performance,>
No it does not. Please check data first

I checked the data. 128K of lower latency L2 performs on par with 512K of higher latency L2. Would't you conclude that 512K of low latency onchip L2 would significantly outperform slower off-chip L2?

My conclusion: latency matters a great deal.

Joe
