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). -- Andy "Krazy" Glew, Motorola MCD, aglew@urbana.mcd.mot.com 1101 E.

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. -- Tim Olson Advanced Micro Devices (tim@amd.com)
