Ok, here are the two:
3.40E GHz 800 MHz BX80546PG3400E RK80546PG0961M 90 nm
3.40 GHz 800 MHz BX80532PG3400D RK80532PG096512 0.13 micron
I know that the 3.40E has 1MB of cache, and the regular one has 512k. I know the difference in die size makes a difference in terms of cooling (thermal density). Other than those two items is there any difference in how the processors actually work? Pipeline stages, etc?
The reason for asking is that I can get the 3.40E for roughly the same price as the regular 3.4 (within $11, so close as makes no difference). Since more cache is generally a good thing, is there some reason other than temps that I would NOT want the 3.40E version?
Confused,
