In the Pentium series of CPUs, only Level 1 (L1) cache was manufactured on the CPU die itself. L2 cache (if it was needed or desired) consisted of SRAM chips mounted immediately next to the CPU socket on the motherboard.

The size of a Pentium III CPU L1 cache?

The L1 cache on a Pentium 3 (And most all processors) is divided into two caches, the data cache and the instruction cache. This may be because the instructions tend to have a high spacial locality while data has higher temporal locality. At any rate, all 4 variants of the Pentium III used 16Kb data cache and 16Kb instruction cache, which makes 32Kb total. (The size of L2 cache varied based on the core.)
