Apple Pbook question

I was wondering about the new pbooks.

I'm pretty sure the old TiBooks had 1 MB of L3 cache, but now the current pbooks have 512 kb of L2 ...

what's the performance sacrifice?
Also...the battery times seem worse than on the old tibooks, or did they just decide to stop embellishing those performance times on their batteries?

Anyways...any insight on the L2 v.s. L3 will be helpful....Thanks!

Might be some info here... If you can find it... their site sucks, but they have a ton of info.

I have a Al Powerbook, battery life is no where near the length of the Tibooks, but they did release a battery update which added about 30 minutes on the life, so I usually get 2:45 - 3 hours of life, where some tibooks can get 4-5. And you can decide about the speed sacrifice, http://www.barefeats.com/al15.html of couse the newer books will be faster...

thanks thanks
