Looking at dualcores such as the 2650 Sempron, they all have 1MB of L2 cache. So the question arises: is it a modular (not à la Bulldozer) design, in which there's 1MB of cache for a pair of cores? If one of the cores is faulty, do they have to disable the whole "module" eliminating it's cache too?

The entire L2 cache can be accessed by one core.
