Subject: Athlon64 at 10GHz

Hold it, hold it. It didn't happen yet! It's just an hypothesis.

Suppose we have two systems with 1GB of DDR400:
   - One Athlon64 at 10GHz with 1MB L2 cache
   - One Athlon64 at 10GHz with 64MB L2 cache

My question is: how big is the memory bottleneck in these two cases?
I guess that depends on the application being run, but suppose it's chess.
I ask this because I feel we need mre advances in the processor rather than in
the memory subsystem.
Am I wrong?

Best regards,
Alvaro Cardoso
