Cache sizes for AMD's Hammer family

Did we know this already? We can't remember

READER SEAN GRIESHEIMER has taken the trouble to read a presentation Hammer evangelist Richard Heye made during the firm's Developer Symposium last month.

As we reported last week, AMD recently put a large number of presentations on its web site from that conference.

Snowed in as we've been by the blizzard of Hammer, Clawhammer and other announcements this week, Sean points to page 10 of Rich Heye's presentation, which you can find here, and asks if all of this is familiar stuff.

For example, the Clawhammer (Athlon 64) multiprocessing chip will come in two flavours - a 512K and a 1MB level two cache version.

The simple Athlon 64 will come in 256K and 1MB integrated L2 cache versions, while the Sludgehammer will have 1MB integrated L2 cache.

Well Sean, we're not sure if we did know that, but we know now... ยต
