I'm fully aware of this. I'm quoting from the advert.
Perhaps I didn't explain very clearly what the advert actually _means_.
You're quite right, Rajesh, the 55 pound-version has no L2 cache fitted,
the 70-pound version has 256Kb. Both versions support write-back AFAIK.

70 - 55 = 15, the price for the 256Kb of L2 cache. See above.
