Real question about L1 caches. For a long time, x86 (Intel & AMD) L1 caches have been pretty much pegged at 32KB. Do you know why they didn't make them larger

Real question about L1 caches. For a long time, x86 (Intel & AMD) L1 caches have been pretty much pegged at 32KB. Do you know why they didn't make them larger? My guess: There is a trade-off between economics and performance.
