Thoroughbred (T-bred) CPU's have only been equipped with 256 kb L2 cache size. Barton has 512. Palomino and Thunderbird had 256.

The Tbred only had one L2 cache size, 256k. The barton has 512k.

The tbred however came in two distinctly different forms, the TbredA, limited to around 1800-1900Mhz, and the TbredB, which can reach 2200 - 2500Mhz.

I guess they don't but maybe the elves wrap the droppings in nice shiney paper cos it's pretty and Mum won't hit the roof when she see's it.

btw, do you reckon the large ones are the ones with 512k L2 cache?

yep. you have to put the extra circutry for the cache somewhere! the barton is a bigger die size.

Problem is that would mean less eggs per wafer unless AMD fed their rabbits more?
