<Well, if all those companies choose processors because of a larger and faster L2 cache, AMD should have an easier time getting the K7, with up to 8MB L2 cache, in servers.> Why does everyone think that the K7 is automatically going to have 8 MB of L2 cache in it? Don't people realize that the 8 MB L2 cache size was given as a theoretical maximum? I don't think the K7 is going to get 8 MB of L2 cache any time soon, or even 2 MB for that matter. AMD might want to wait a year or two as the K7 platform matures and the processor speeds increase before going for 2 MB or more of L2 cache. Tenchusatsu
