l1 is in motherboards l2 is on processor newer processor has l3 too
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.

Please ellaborate. Which cache are you looking for? Modern computers can have over a dozen different caches L1 and L2 CPU Caches Harddrives Caches Browser Caches DLL Caches DNS Caches etc.
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...
Xeon processors have much larger L2 caches than their mainstream counterparts.
How do L1, L2, and L3 work

The L1 and L2 caches (the "CPU memory") are already being used in a manner similar to RAM. L1 and L2 cache acts as a sort of buffer, so that the CPU does not have to fetch data from main memory as often, which slows the computer down. This, the fact that the circuitry to use the caches as main memory isn't available on most motherboards, and the fact that CPU caches are simply not large enough to run a modern operating system, make this both impossible and impractical.

Cache memory typically has three levels: L1, L2, and L3. L1 is the smallest and fastest, located closest to the CPU, while L2 is larger and slightly slower. L3 is even larger and slower than L2, and it is shared among multiple cores in multi-core processors. Some systems may also implement additional levels, like L4, but L1, L2, and L3 are the most common.
