Interesting, that's news to me. Guess Intel just has clock speed then. That's why I still pay a premium to run certain jobs on z1d or c5 instances.
As another commenter pointed out, though, not all caches are equal. Unfortunately, I was not able to easily find access speeds for specific processors, so single-threaded benchmarks are the primary quantitative differentiator.
