Re: It may be in faster L2 of core 1, but when core 2 (3 and 4) are accessing it, it is faster to access the same data from L3.

Oh I see. Then AMD's L3 is mostly a means of making up for the shortcomings of their non-shared L2. Why not just share the L2 cache, then? Too much of a penalty to local access time?
