Memory performance (continued)
Next up is a slightly indulgent look at memory access latencies in more detail. If the following intimidates you, just skip to the next page with the gaming results. Remember, though, to flip back here if the boss is looking over your shoulder.
I won't linger too long on these results, except to say that they confirm the Athlon 64 4000+ and FX-55 are exceptionally quick at getting out to main memory, especially compared to the competing Pentium 4 chips.

I've colored the data series below according to how they correspond to different parts of the memory subsystem. Yellow is L1 cache, light orange is L2 cache, and orange is main memory. The red series, if present, represents L3 cache. Of course, caches sometimes overlap, so the colors are just an interesting visual guide.
