Wonder why AMD didn't up the T-bred L2 cache to 512k like Intel did with the Northwood? At .13 it uses less power, but being smaller it'll be just as hard to cool I think. With the 2.1 G/sec limitation of the FSB, seems like 512k would have given it a nice kick in the pants, just like the Northwood gets!
I guess the theory of reducing costs is a nice idea for AMD, but it sure seems to be a disappointment for any performance increase!
