To the degree that is actually matters, yes. For cache managment on
Origins the size of the S-cache doesn't matter, that is it is not
relevant if scache_size(cpu 0) > or < scache_size(cpu 1). It gets a
little hairy for stuff like performance counters where the R10000
supports a different set of events than its successors; that is not
something oprofile can deal with ...
