oh god... whoever wrote that article doesn't have a clue......

The Athlon64 3700+, 3400+ and 3100+ chips will initially come with 1MB of such cache memory. According to AMD's plans however, in Q4 the clock speed will substantially increase, while at the same time the cache will be reduced to 256KB.

NO NO NO NO NO
the A64 will get a new "Duron" core called the Paris which is a budget line for when the AXP ends its production.... the Paris will be like an A64 but with 256kb cache isntead of the 1mb....... the A64's will still carry the 1mb.

The Athlon XP is already at the end of the line...and so is the P4...
