Using a normal broadly based access pattern, There's one of the weak links in your argument. You realize that mas was claiming that NO MATTER WHAT the access pattern, a fast, small L2 would lose to a larger, slower L2 if the working set was significantly larger than the smaller L2. And that is just wrong. As is the majority of your L1 cache claim. You'll see when the benchmarks are out, and Nehalem outperforms Penryn clock/clock on virtually everything. The only thing that will help is much larger clock speeds. Bzzzt. Nehalem is due out at the same speeds as Penryn. And Intel has said single-thread IPC is improved. Sorry.
