I thought that the 1.4 T-bird had an external L2 cache of 384.Is this not true?

384KB of total on-chip cache (256KB of on-chip level two (L2) cache and 128KB of on-chip level one (L1) cache).

L1 Cache and L2 cache is interleaved in AMD processors so when AMD totals its maximum cache together, you get 128KB L1 + 256KB L2 = 384KB.

Intel has only 20KB of L1 so it has far less cache to work with as for now.
