L1 cache l2 cache and l3 cache differ?

In: Computer Hardware, Computer Terminology, Microprocessors [Edit categories]

Answer:

Each one is larger, cheaper and slower than the next. L1 cache tends to be direct mapped and L2 tends to have higher associativity. I don't believe that any current processors use L3 cache yet, but it would likely be fully associative or almost fully associative.

Larger the size is better but it is hard to know how much better. Read/Write latency (time) is also an important factor for performance.
