Paul,

Pentium III XEON L2 caches are also off chip but can be as large as 2 MegaBytes and they run at full CPU speed.

The latency of an off-chip cache is necessarily longer than an on-chip cache, regardless of the clock speed. When the cache is moved on chip, Xeon should show a significant performance improvement.
