Tenchusatsu - RE: "The non-relevance of Katmai's larger L1 cache is pretty interesting to me. Does
that mean that the oversized 128K L1 cache on the AMD K7 isn't going to show
any benefits, either?"

I think I read somewhere that Intel chips have 4 way associative (?) L1 cache, while AMD chips have 2 way associative (?) L1 cache. Could this explain why Katmai doesn't gain much, while the K7 should gain?
