About Propus, The L3 Cachless AMD K10.5 CPU
 

When AMD finally gets around to making 45nm CPUs, there will be two kinds, those with L3 cache, and those without. The cacheless ones go under the code name "Propus."

We now hear, unofficially, that L3 cache doesn't matter too much.

Really. Well, if that's so, who is going to get fired at AMD for making the boneheaded decision to include all that L3 cache in the other K10.5 designs? After all, all that L3 means AMD will effectively reduce its yearly capacity by millions, maybe by as much as 10% of total capacity.

they better not tell the amd fanboys that L3 cache is worthless, or even they will lose respect for Phenom
