"Ask Intel" is not an answer.

Because it is smaller than the L4.

You said they were cheap first. So let's see your evidence first.

No, I didn't ignore anything.

"designing a FPU that doesn't sucks very badly doesn't look as hard as designing a scheduller that performs exceptioanlly well"
Does not explain anything. It is a completely useless statement. Designing a big L4 cache is not as hard either, but most CPUs don't do that.
