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.
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...
L2 cache is a set of memory circuits designed to speed access to important and frequently used data. L2 cache is an abbreviation of Level 2 cache.
Some Pentiums contain L2 cache on separate dies called discrete L2 cache, and some Pentiums contain L2 cache on the same die called Advanced Transfer Cache.

Larger the size is better but it is hard to know how much better. Read/Write latency (time) is also an important factor for performance.
