Level 2 (L2) cache is built onto the processor. On Older slot-mounted processors, L2 cache was external to the processor die, and ran at slower speeds than the processor. on socketed processors, L2 cache is built onto the processor. If the processor does not find the desired memory locations in L1 cache, it checks L2 cache next.
However Processors with larger L2 caches perform most tasks much more quickly than processors that have smaller L2 caches for two reasons. Cache memory is faster than main memory and the processor checks cache memory for needed information before checking main memory.

What is the size of L1 and L2 cache?
Usually the size of the L2 cache will be larger than the L1 cache so that if data hit in L 1 cache occurs, it can look for it in L 2 cache.. If data is not in both of the caches, then it goes to the main memory...
Is cache memory found on the motherboard?
external cache or level 2 or L2 cache
What is the difference between the locations of discrete L2 cache and advanced transfer cache?
On-Package L2 cache (discrete L2 cache) is on a separate microchip within the processor housing, while Advanced Transfer Cache (ATC) is located directly on the same die as the processor core.

Can you name the two cache memory?
l1 cache l2 cache
What is the maximum L1 L2 L3 Cache size.?
L1 = 128KB MaxL2 = 4MB Max
What is the difference between 6m L2 cache and 3m L2 cache?
Dildo's...S......So many Dildo's
On-package L2 cache?
An L2 cache is built directly on the processor chip as an advanced transfer cache. Data is transmitted via the front side bus.
Does level 1 cache memory always contains more storage area than Level 2 cache?
On the contrary, the L1 cache NEVER cointains more storage area than L2 cache. The L1 is faster with a shorter latency than L2 cache, but pays for this by being smaller size-wise and being more expensive to manufacture.
What was the first microprocessor to include both an L1 and L2 cache with CPU?
The Pentium Pro had both an L1 and an L2 cache on the CPU.
Is cache on a CPU?
CPUs do have a cache (either L1, L2 or L3), but cache is not exclusively on the CPU.
