Default Intel P4's: why so cheap on the L1 cache?

My old Athlon XP had 64KB instruction + 64KB data L1 cache, why did Intel go
so cheap and only include 16KB data and 12Ku-op on the P4's? Hell, even the
K62's had 32KB instruction + 32KB data w/their L1 cache!

Because Intel just sells his band, not technology. I love AMD as you love.
