IDT redesigns C6 chip
Centaur's next x86 processor
will have
128Kb of not L2 but L1 cache on board. This will be a first. Currently, the
current largest L1 x86 is the Cyrix 686MX
chip. A large L1 does help performance (zero cycle access instead of one
or more), but is more timing critical to implement than an L2.
