<<There's also a rumor that it might sport double the L1 cache. And a 256K cache module on MB would cost $10 at most.>>

The question is how fast can you make L1 cache run if located outside the CPU. K6+ 3D suppose to have 256KB cache that runs internally at
300-350MHz. For the external L1 cache to run beyond 200MHz is no trivial task.
