I wonder how large its L3 cache will be on a native 6-core die.
Socket-F Opterons still have 512KB L2 per core right?

AMD already has the datasheets out. The Istanbuls have 6x512 KB L2 cache and a 6 MB L3 cache. They go from 2.0-2.6 GHz.

AMDs cache is costing them alot of cash

Yeah already reaad em. If virtulisation takes off, itll be fine. Its OK, at least its competition at this point, but Im wondering if DDR3 will make much difference?

I think it will with extreme data processing.
