Because:

(1) Those few "numbers" in isolation do not tell anywhere near the whole story.

(2) It is unclear if those numbers are correct.

(3) Common sense tells most of us otherwise.

(4) Benchmarks and rumored benchmarks say otherwise.

In short, I believe you are suffering from your usual problem: insufficient data to support your claim, and an inability to recognize that Intel had vastly more data available to them when they designed Nehalem's cache hierarchy.

Nehalem does have a slower cache structure than Penryn, why are you disputing something that actually has numbers on it ?!

A2 silicon is 1 clock slower. Do you know that it will stay that way?
