Seems to be exactly what I described? L2/core went up by 768 KiB, L3/core went down by 1.125 MiB.
- ivl 7y agoL3 went down per core, but total L3 only fell by 3 MiB. While total L2 flew up from 2.5 MiB to 16 MiB in a single generation for two processors that target the same segment at the same price. Per core you're correct, but I was looking at net cache available, as that had been remaining static, usually just seeing an extra 256 KiB of L2 per core with little L3 change.
