chipguy: Re: BTW, didn't you previously claim the Northwood's L2 latency in cycles was twice that of Willamette and that was due to its larger capacity?
No.
Do you believe doubling the size of an SRAM or DRAM doubles its access time?
No.
For the record, it was Elmer who originally made the assertion that larger cache would require more latency. Thos claim was made as support for his position that 1M Athlon64 is the same as Opteron.
