No, the 300 had no cache.
The 300A had a cache and it overclocked so well because they needed to
make it on the newest fab to get the cache to fit on the chip. Making
it on the newest fab meant that it ran at speeds much better than 300
MHz. As others have mentioned, typically it ran at 450 MHz, just like
the Pentia made on the same fab ran at.
