Do we need [l2-cache] and [l3-cache]?

: 6 questions

: 1 question

Is it really necessary to be so specific? We already have and which together cover the CPU cache. and are used together on two of the questions, and only one question doesn't have either. Worst case, could be created but having separate tags for each level of cache is unnecessary, in my opinion.


I've just done a search for . Out of those (15) questions, some were about the CPU cache in general or about all three levels and quite a few others could be given more than one of the L1, L2 and L3 cache tags. A tag probably should be introduced to replace the individual cache level tags.

Thoughts?
