Ok yes. I was comparing AMD to Intel... apples to oranges. Not an AMD to an AMD or an Intel to an Intel.
Cache does make a difference, even if it is a gimmick.

But not usually enough to warrant the higher price tag...

There really isn't much of a price difference between 820 vs 920, I think it's about 36.00 on NewEgg. The 920 has a smaller process size(65nm) and more cache. Because of the process size change the 920 runs ALOT cooler :D . Hell the cache is just a bonus, the smaller process makes it well worth it!

First of all, the discussion was about cache......compare an Opteron 165 and a 3800+ or a 3800+ to an FX60 at identical clock speeds (don't forget to adjust the memory divider).....and you'll see no difference worth mentioning. Cache is very overblown

Ty, I want you to go run some benchmarks between two processors at the same clock speed with different amounts of cache....then come back and tell me what kind of difference you see. I'll guarantee you that you'll see almost no difference at all.
