Level 2 cache (L2 cache).

There is no specific name for memory caches based on physical location. CPU memory caches are named for function, not location.

As such, there are Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 caches (and, theoretically, there's nothing preventing Levels 4 and up from being created). Each can be located anywhere (on-die, in-package, off-chip, etc.) depending on the design of the CPU and motherboard.

Modern x86 chips from Intel and AMD include up to L3 cache on-die.

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).

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.
