[comp.arch] AMD 29000 - no

aglew@urbana.mcd.mot.com (Andy-Krazy-Glew) (10/29/89)

Are there any variants of the AMD 29000 that have on-chip data caches?
(Not BTC or TLB or I-cache)

My last spec sheet is 1987, which is a bit dated.

(I'll be posting a number of similar questions to the net in the near
future, pursuing completeness in a survey I am writing).

Sorry about being late in responding here -- our main mail/news server
has been down for 1 1/2 weeks.  Anyway, there are currently no members
of the 29K processor family that have on-chip data caches, at least in
the traditional sense.  You can consider the large register file to be
a compiler-controlled scalar stack cache.
