>>>" IF your putting more cache on the same chip then why L2? - Why not just a larger L1"<<< Jeff: my answer to "why not a larger L1": L1 cache resides on the same piece of silicon as the CPU, or microprocessor, which is precious with respect to area. L2 resides on another piece of silicon, entirely, for any computer ever made. So, you don't just go saying, 'up the L1 cache, vs. do a bigger L2'. That would involve changing the entire microprocessor, and chip design. TV

Paul, re: L1 L2 (Sorry thread - last one) The pragmatics I understand and already acknowledged for Mendocino. What I'm curious about - Given the choice of how to add more cache to the monolithic chip, is there any performance advantage to a larger unified L1 vs the two level scheme? Is it significant? Again to apologize, last nerdy question for now :) Jeff
