does the duron have 128K L2 cache

[Cknyc]

I know it has 128 L1 cache.

 

[NFS4]

64k L2 cache

 

[noxipoo]

nope, most of the big companies that sells it has it ass backwards

 

[Noriaki]

128kB L1 cache
64kB L2 cache

yUP. 192kb TOTAL BECAUSE THE CACHE IS EXCLUSIVE.

addendum to yucky:

as opposed to intel cache design where the l1 data is repeated in the l2. so the celeron is 128k effective, the p3 256, the duron 192, and the athlon 384.

This is the thing I've been trying to explain to the bozo computer reps in my Best Buy store for the past 3 weeks. It's pretty sad when an audio rep knows more about hardware than the people who are supposed to be selling them do....

One of the guys has even gone as far as saying that the Duron is the successor to the Athlon. I just told him "think of it as AMD's competition to Intel's Celeron CPU." Then he says "well, I thought that the K6-2/3 were like Celerons)!" I think he got his 5th-gen and 6th-gen roadmaps screwed up.
