Chuck - RE: "One possibility (assuming that the 64k number is valid) is that AMD looked at the popular benchmarks and decided that 64k does add a significant benchmarking advantage."

Maybe since AMD is going with an exclusive cache they can lower the latency of the L2 cache because it would be smaller than if the cache was a normal, larger size.

Does that make sense?
