The only
difference between k6-2 and k6-3 is that there is 256kb of L2 cache on the die
itself of the k6-3 and that cache is running at the same speed of the cpu NOT
the speed of the bus(100 mhz).What used to be called L2 cache is now L3 cache.As
mentionned before knowledge based programs (Rebel,Hiarcs) are relying much more
on cache than fast searchers like Fritz and Nimzo.About 2 weeks ago someone
posted here something like saying that csst2 was almost twice as fast on a
pentium than on k6....which is very surprising to me....
