both have 512K L2 and this is were it gets confusing....

900 series has 8MB cache and 6 core has only 9? Which means L3 cache has not changed size. Not per core ... but AT ALL same L3 as phentwo quads

Only thing increased is L2 cache and it has not increased... just that teh same 512 per core has increased (dunno why they stopped counting L1 cache but apparently they did it a long time ago LOL). Explains the poor mem performance since it is largely based on ALL mem. Might have to skip this tock as it were....
Yeah, no L3 increase on these. Just adds 512kb to the L2 with each added core.
It literally is same as Deneb + 2 cores.
