Nintendo Maniac 64 Wrote:All I know is, Dolphin seems to like the L3 quite a bit if you reference the new Dolphin CPU benchmark, in particular Vishera is noticably faster than Richland and Trinity per-GHz.
Use mine, it sucks less: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9V1dG6c...edit?pli=1
Just because the complete absence of L3 improves performance a bit doesn't mean a drop in L3 latency (and we don't even know how much of a drop) will have a big impact on performance. Dram latency is so much higher than L3 that any L3 at all will help. But we don't know whether dolphin is favoring higher hitrate or lower latency L3.
