; L3 Cache (Level 3 Cache) This type of cache is becoming more prevalent as microprocessor manufacturers ship more processors with L1 and L2 cache built into the processor. L3 cache is then the extra cache that sits on the motherboard between the processor and main memory, since the processor already contains L1 and L2 cache. Some processors are starting to ship with L3 cache built-in as well to speed up memory operations further. In those cases the L3 cache often sits on a separate area of the die, not built directly into the chip core.
False
L2 cache. Today's processors all have some memory on the processor chip (called a die). Memory on the processor die is called Level 1 cache (L1 cache). Memory in the processor package, but not on the processor die, is called Level 2 cache (L2 cache). Some processors use a third cache farther from the processor core, but still in the processor package, which is called Level 3 cache (L3 cache).
Most modern (post-2000) CPUs used shared multi-level caches. The level of sharing a specific cache can vary by the design of the processor. For example, many CPUs will share Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 caches between all cores. In others (particularly those with many cores), Level 1 and possibly Level 2 caches may be shared only between a certain subset of cores. For example, in certain 16-core CPUs, the design breaks it into 8 sets of 2 cores - each pair shares a L1 cache (8 L1 caches total), with 2 pairs sharing a L2 cache (4 L2 caches total), and all cores sharing a single L3 cache.
Level 2 cache (L2 cache).There is no specific name for memory caches based on physical location. CPU memory caches are named for function, not location.As such, there are Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 caches (and, theoretically, there's nothing preventing Levels 4 and up from being created). Each can be located anywhere (on-die, in-package, off-chip, etc.) depending on the design of the CPU and motherboard.Modern x86 chips from Intel and AMD include up to L3 cache on-die.

The motherboard doesn't contain cache. The chips do, but the motherboard contain RAM modules. Like when you hear a PC has 512MB of memory. The cache (memory on the chip) follows lines called a bus to the RAM (memory on the motherboard).Answer: Level 3
