The new AMD, Phenom II X6 belonging to the family, better known by the codename "Thuban" have a die size significantly higher than that of their predecessors X4. You pass it by a well-346mm2 258mm2 of Deneb in Thuban. This is due to the core, it passes from four to six Core. The cache is always divided on 3 levels. 128KBytes are the first level (L1 Cache), which is responsible for half of the data management and the other half of the instructions for the 6 core. The second level (L2 Cache) 3MBytes counts, divided among the six that make up the core processor. We then 512KBytes per core, 50% more than Deneb. The third level (L3 Cache), is considered shared, and has 6MBytes. This may be, as needed, or use by a single core by all. So applications that do not fully exploit the processor can take advantage of the breadth of the cache. The software CPU-Z correctly detect all the features of the processor.
