repo man11 said:L1 cache has been on die either allways, or since at least 486 CPU's. If you have an old enough computer, then you can sometimes upgrade the L2 cache, because it was on the motherboard, rather than the CPU. I set my mom up with an Asus board that came with 256K L2, and a slot where you can add another 256K. Moving the L2 cache "on die" made for a big boost in performance.
