Does that CPU really have 128KB+128KB L1 cache?

It's 128KB L1 per core, the chip you linked to has 2 cores. So...the answer would be yes?

Oh. That's a confusing way of labelling it, since http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819104244 is labelled as 64KB+64KB

You know what, I think I was wrong in that other post then. They may be differentiating between the Data L1 cache and Instruction L1 cache. AMD use to do this, I guess they still do?

That would still explain the dual-core though...64KB data + 64KB instruction (per core) could be sold as 128KB (data) + 128KB (instruction)...

Each core has 64 KB of data cache and 64 KB of instruction cache. There are 2 cores. Confirmed here (search page for 1218). Newegg's way of expressing it is somewhat confusing, but still basically correct.
