If there is L2 cache in the processor housing and additional cache on the motherboard the cache on the motherboard is called cache.?
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

What is a cache outside the processor called?
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).
Is cache memory found on the motherboard?
external cache or level 2 or L2 cache
What was the first Intel processor to contain level 2 cache?
The Intel Pentium Pro was the first Intel processor to contain level 2 cache.
What is level 1 2 and 3 cache?
; 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.
What is the memory of the cache that is closest to the processor die but is not housed on the die?
Level 2 cache (L2 cache)
What is the name of the memory cache that is closest to the processor die but is not housed on die?
Level 2 cache (L2 cache)
What is a cache outside the processor microchip called?
Level 2
Why was the first Intel Celeron processor not as popular as expected?
The original Intel Celeron processor was not as popular as expected because it lacked the level 2 cache to help reduce the price of the processor. With no level 2 cache, the processor acted much slower than the competitor processors.
Is Level 2 cache farther away from the CPU than Level 1 cache or on a separate chip?
true
What is an example of L2 cache memory size?
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.
