Chuck,

What is you estimate of power savings for changing cache size from 256k to 512k assuming everything else (process, features, etc) remain the same?

Bilow is the best person to ask this question to. I estimate that the number of DRAM accesses will decrease by about 30-40% with the increased L2 cache size, but I don't have enough information to translate that into power savings.
