KZ,

I don't have any pointers but I looked up the 1995 ISSCC Digest which has 21164 on page 182 where it reads "the data cache ... has a one-cycle access for both reads and writes."

Interesting. I wonder if they are fudging about their definition of 1-cycle cache access. Normally the TLB translation and cache access are included together.

I don't believe that it is possible to do both at 700 MHz in a 0.35u process- even for the small cache.
