What was the first non-server processor to have a L3 cache?

Some RISC server CPU designs have had L3 for many years. The first consumer CPU that could use an L3 was the AMD K6-III, in 1999. However, it didn't have an L3 cache on the die, but used the motherboard-based L2 cache present on almost all Super Socket 7 motherboards as an L3. It did have on-die L2, and was designed so that it could use the external cache as L3. The first consumer CPU to have on-die L3 was the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, a rebranded Xeon introduced late in 2003 to counter AMD's new Athlon 64. Xeons, which are server CPU's, have had L3 since 2001.
