L1 = 128KB Max
L2 = 4MB Max
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...
The Pentium Pro had both an L1 and an L2 cache on the CPU.
l1 cache l2 cache
L1, L2, and L3
L2 cache
CPUs do have a cache (either L1, L2 or L3), but cache is not exclusively on the CPU.
L1 Cache. And more recently, the L2 cache as well.
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.

It uses L1 L2 and L3.
It has 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 4 MB of L2 cache.
Caches are generally defined as L1, L2, and L3. If a CPU has any cache memory at all, it will have at least L1 cache. L1 cache is the fastest, and most expensive, type of cache memory. Usually CPUs will only have a very small amount of L1. L2 is typically larger, less expensive, and slower than L1. L3 is less expensive, larger, and slower than L1 or L2, if present. All three levels of cache memory are magnitudes faster than system memory. Systems withequivalenthardware, including CPUs will identical speeds, will perform better at certain tasks when more cache memory is present, with L1 cache adding the most performance boost.
