Ugh..that 2MB of cache is L3. Pay all that coin and you don't even get to take advantage of that 2MB at L2...it is still 512KB L2, they just added L3...Athlon64/FX definitely looks better if I had to pick.

Ugn... of course it's L3 cache. You can't have L2 2MB cache, it doesn't fit!
L3 is still at full clock speed, so there is no difference in performance any way. AMD 64 is nice, but I think Intel still beats them on most of the bench marks. Only if they lower the price..........

NeoZGeo: I take it you didn't read the Titan Extreme Athlon64/FX PC review on the main site huh? It beat Intel in EVERY benchmark except one, and it is one in which they believe it is a motherboard chipset drivers issue (as other Athlon 64/FX systems have performed much better).

That's just one opinion... I read another opinion from Maximum PC that tested the G5, athlon64, and P4c EE, and of the 3 the Intel P4c EE got the gold crown over the athlon64. According to them the L3 cache makes a huge difference over the traditional p4c's.

I also suscribe to maximum pc. They say nvidia fx 5950 is the fastest videocard, beating ati's 9800xt in the latest. We all know who's the graphic performance leader now dont we? Being a magazine read by many, I'm disappointed how they can still recommend nvidia. I'm inclined to believe nvidia pays them off somehow.

Uh.... if it was full speed, then it would be L2, not L3. L3 by definition does NOT run at full speed.. it is simply an extra buffer that the CPU can use before hitting the RAM. But in no way is it full speed.

actually, had you rad that article, you would have seen that they said they cant crown the P4EE alone... the pic is wrong; it didnt win....
