I enjoyed your summary of machine-level instruction speeds. I have a question regarding cache size on the SS2. According to the Sun Observer, December 1990, page 1, "The SS2 also uses Cypress' 16K x 16 Cache Storage Unit (the CY7C157)". However according to Sun's US Price list (November 5, 1990, page 31) the SS2 features "64 Kbyte Write- Through Cache". Are these two statements inconsistent (16K x 16 = 256K)? If so, who is correct? If not, why are they the same? Bruce Allen
