MBPR Processor Upgrade . . .

[ReddestDream]

Does anyone know if the processor upgrade for the 15" MBPR (2.6 -> 2.7) includes the L3 cache upgrade (6 MB -> 8 MB) seen in the regular MBP? It seems like it should, but Apple's page doesn't mention it . . . Thanks!

Yes the 2.7 is 8MB L3, Intel only makes it that way.

Thanks! The speed boost alone wasn't enough to justify it in my mind!
