That certainly is an "eye opener."  The plot thickens!  :)

Another poster provided information about the number of clock cycles required to
get info to or from a cache and showed that it depended a lot on which cache.
So, the question is, which cache is going to be that big?  How many clock cycles
required?  [Need to say which clock rate is involved].

Incidentally, I'm not sure that "hammer" is the right word.  Doesn't the code
name change from generation to generation? Isn't there a new code name for the
generation after the hammers?  Maybe that's the generation we should be talking
about.
