check out the description at newegg for the new 3.06's. ONLY 51k of l2 cache! What a letdown.

s - a - r - c - a - s - m. sarcasm.

Yes, i was kidding. I know it's a typo. I just thought it was a bit funny.

The model with 51K is the best overclocking chip ever. It doesn't have that extra 461K so it runs much cooler :D

51k L2 is all that is needed because hyper theading is so much more efficient.

lol

[s[H]sIkuA]

forget to put on the 2 i think

no way it would have 51 k :D

[jokrswild]

hey, we should all buy this! They must be rare, as all the other ones have 512 kb of l2 cache! They'll be worth a fortune!

[oRIDDLERo]

If only it were 12 kb i would snatch it up in notime flat!

hey I have a question, does hyper threading make it all that faster??????

[kamilkluczewski]

The overhead calculation of hyper threading actually slow down the system a bit in single threaded applcations. Unless an app is specificaly written for HT it wont run faster :( however when you start doing three things at once HT really shows it muscle power.

Its like running a I4 versus a V8, both will pass on the highway with ease but you have to drop 2 gears on the I4 before it starts movig while the V8 will have no problems.

Peace,

so a single threaded cpu would have to drop two gears? oh i get it, the hyperthreading cpu has more torque. hahaah. im sorry, i dont think your analogy is very good.
