RE:"I personally don't expect the L2 cache on the Athlon to grow any larger
than 2MB, like Xeon. The reason isn't capability; I'm sure AMD can do
it if they tried. The reason is return-on-investment. Unless Athlon has
some major scalability problems with multiprocessing, I don't think they
need larger L2 caches."...

I recall the original papers on the K7 stating that it would have up to 8 Megs of L2...
Then again, who knows.
