Pravin, Sorry, I do not know. I suspect though that the cartridge will soon be a dodo and the L-3 cache can be a bit further away thus a socket based solution with conventional L-3 would work? It looks like there is a drive to socket based solutions by both AMD as well as Intel. High end severs products may end up staying with a slot due to the large amount of cache that precludes on die location.

Pravin - RE: "Does anyone know if the slot A version of the T-bird can/will use current off-die L2 as an L3?"

Since some of the reasons to go with on-die cache include the opportunity to go a cheaper socket and to stop using cost-adding external L2 cache, I doubt Thunderbird will have an L3 cache.
