Holy schnikies - I remember when AMD was pushing Intel with pure speed and cache sizes of 512kb. Now it looks to be the battle of multi core cpus. Now we're talking an 8 core cpu with 8Mb of L2 AND L3 cache for 3 bills? That's really not all that bad when you think about it. Bet that sucker can crunch a few numbers.
Yeah!!
