AMD Phenom II unlocking cores, does the cache unlock as well?

Looking at a Phenom II X2 that can unlock to an X4. Does the cache unlock as well so it will be 4x 512K instead of just 2X 512K ?

They can run pretty hot on the stock cooler once unlocked so don't go expecting huge overclocks.

Also not all of them unlock.

The x4s are so cheap these days. Why not just get an X4?

Because I got a bundle on the members market.

Chip is happily unlocked and overcooked. 4x cache.

LOL. Silly tablet auto correct! Good spot lol.

Got 3.6 easily at the moment and it is nice and cool, 3.8 is unstable and resets pc. Will have to spend time on what is causing that, but very happy at 3.6 on an unlocked chip Tbh at such good temps.
