Yes, this is correct but these numbers relate to the memory interface. The PA8800 and PA8900 have 128 byte
memory interfaces. These numbers are reported by firmware PDC calls. This whole discussion started when I
suggested that we needed to bump L1_CACHE_BYTES to 128 bytes on PA8800 and PA8900 processors.
