Ofcourse I didn't make it up...
In real world apps like encoding cache wont mean crap....in games they love the cache and hence why the dothan does well also...
I have a new 1.86ghz 533fsb dothan coming and I am going to do a host of test on it andget to the exact bottom of this...[/q

Now this is good news way to go duvie. I agree with you 100% on the cache all the way but it is in the cpu so it still counts . Just as the ondie memory controller Adds 30% to the performance of the AMD 64 cpu. Take the ondie controller out and Intel is faster by far. But its there so it still counts!!!!!
