Dan, re: "caches use a lot less per transistor than logic. I don't know why"

When I last pondered this question someone here replied that the lower power is because they switch a lot less often.

I'm a bit skeptical that increasing cacheline length will save all that much power. Maybe Scumbria will return and tell us why this is...

Scumbria has made his return and is posting on the free speech for ex-patriates thread:

Message 17386487
Message 17388162
Message 17390437

Apparently he is applying his nose to the grindstone in England and has been able to keep his all-consuming addiction to SI in check, at least for today. One day at a time, mackerel!
