SCUM bria - Re: "A lower latency onboard L2 cache will improve performance, but don't expect to see anywhere near the same kind of benefit from a large onboard L2 that you do with a large onboard L1 (like K7.)"

The higher latency L1 cache of AMD's desKtop 7 will be one of the reasons for the desKtop 7's very, very limited success.

It will be slow and eat up valuable real estate.

At 184 sq. mm., look for Cherry Sanders to use this - and the resultant LOW YIELDS - as an excuse for the AMD losses due in Q399 and Q499.

Why don't you tell us how detrimental AMD's desKtop 7 off-chip, 1/3 speed L2 cache is going to be ?

Looks like that slow speed oof-chip cache may cause the desKtop 7 to be a non-starter - don't you think?
