Re: "The benefits of a larger cache taper off as cache size increases. Intel's chips are limited to caching 12 pages per LSB, while AMD's chips can cache 20. Since all processes will normally start off with an LSB of 0x000, Intel processors can start thrashing the cache with as few as 12 active processes regardless of cache size, while AMD processors will always support a minimum of 20." Yeah, yeah, yeah !!! The New AMDroid Mantra - the largest useable L2 cache just happens to be the largest L2 cache on a currently available AMD CPU !!!! What a HOOT !!!!!
