Earlier it was reported that the first quad-core chip from AMD is code-named Deerhound, which will be intended for socket F infrastructure and will have shared level-two cache along with dual-channel registered DDR2 memory controller. The new chip is expected to use the new code-named K8L design, which features some improvements, according to Mr. Meyer.

Espero bem que a cache partilhada seja a L2. Não me estava a agradar muito a ideia de L2 separada e L3 comum... Quer em custos quer em tempos de acesso.
