Thanks for the clarification, I think that even 1Mb per core increase (for cache) could yield large increases in performance.
I read an article last year that AMD licensed some RAM technology for cache called Z-RAM (or something similar) it was supposedly able to shrink the current process down and enable cache sizes of 15Mb+. I wonder how that is going...
