AMD Quads and Duals have much less cache then their Intel's counterparts. Yet they still seem to do alright in gaming. So cache doesn't really do a lot for gaming.

it doesnt do a lot for AMD chips. because of their IMC, they dont need the big cache. current intel chips, on the other hand, do benefit from larger cache. gaming there is a measurable difference, but in programs that crunch numbers like superpi...there is a massive performance difference.
nehalem will have the IMC, so the cache will be noticeably smaller.
