Notes16KB L1 data cache per core.64KB L1 instruction cache shared per two cores (per module).2MB L2 cache shared per two cores (per module).AMD's "ACP" or Average Core Power ratings exist to, "reflect the CPU power consumption running typical data center workloads" according to AMD. The number is a geometric mean of power consumed running TPC-C, SPECcpu2006, SPECjbb2005, and Stream.
