- re : "1) I believe that the Acorn 610 has a 4k on chip cache."

- A HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!!!!
-
- Yeah right!
-
- Sure!
-
- It has only 32000 transistors yet can magically support 4096 bytes of
- cache RAM in the 32000 transistors... hmmm lets see... lets pretend that
- each bit of cache was magically stored in exactly 1 transistor each
- without requiring the other 6 transistors I mentioned earlier....
-
- That gives us an overhead of 32768 bits (transistors) with no gates left
- for logic!!!!!
-
- Now you see my fury over the "Acorn 610" fools who keep this stuff rolling!!!
-
- SOMEONE OUT THERE IS A LIAR!!!! I assume the liar is Acorn, and that the
- chip has 500,000 transistors and not the 32000 transistors claimed.
-
- ARRRRGGGG!!!!!
