Maybe only strange as long as caches are only compared in terms of size and real-estate on silicon - which can easiliy be as misleading as comparing CPUs just in terms of clockspeed....
Put in another way, there could be very good reasons why AMDs cache is built differently (not as dense as Intels e.g).
To be able to see the whole picture it would be necessary to have knowledge of all specifications and characteristics of the caches to be compared.
Would highly appreciate any contributions thisrespectively.
If what Dresdenboy has seen is indeed a 90nm wafer (which I believe it is) whith identical proportions of Core and cache as 130nm, it is possibile as well that it holds 2MB of Cache instead of one, which would make up for similar densities as Intels Cache. Not that I would think of it as highly probable, just as a possibiltiy.

p.s: Tx for pm - certainly I cannot comment on postings I have never seen. But I am sure if these were even worse than these I have seen, deletion happened certainly with good reason. ;-)
