    Serious question with 1GB L3 isn't it theoretically possible to boot a full Linux without ram?

    Edit: dug in it, no, because cache isn't addressable and it's directly managed by the cpu.

      I suspect someone at AMD could do this, but it would require a custom build of the CPU since the memory controller would have to change.
