    The poster seems to be all excited saying:

    Well, it's important to see that a fast and useful cache technology is much more than a big cache. You need good access times, good hit ratio, etc. Sometimes you can even get better performance by disabling the cache.

    It's application-specific, don't assume bigger is better.

    Are wireless NOCs something that may be coming down the pipeline? More and more webmasters are making the transition to dedicated servers but are still held back by the price tag... this could be the kick in the butt needed to help this sluggish and saturated market come back to life again.
