> Now the way that an L1$ has to be designed, the TLB lookup happens before reading data from L1$ memory (because you need to know the physical address in order to determine whether there was a cache hit and if so, which line of L1$ to read)
With VIPT caches (which AFAIK both AMD and Intel use for the L1 data cache), the TLB lookup and the L1 cache lookup happen in parallel. The cache lookup uses the bits of the memory address corresponding to the offset within the page (which are unchanged by the translation from virtual to physical addresses) to know which line of the L1 cache to read. Only later, after both the TLB and the L1 cache have returned their results, is the L1 tag compared with the corresponding bits of the physical address returned by the TLB.
