This part actually deserves to be called Part 3.5 instead of Part 4, as it should supplement the test results and conclusions, made in previous Part III. This time we decided (not without help from our readers, who pointed out some insufficiency of information in Part III) finally to clear up the issue of L2 Cache size and its influence on CPU performance on AMD Socket 754 platform, having compiled all possible L2 variants with the same core clock: 128 KB, 256, 512, and 1024. Besides, it was interesting to compare two neighbors in model numbers: Sempron 3100+ and 3300+, their clocks competing with the same L2 size: the latter is larger in the junior model, while the clock is higher in the senior model..
