CPU L1/L2 cache size over the years


I'm trying to find a graph with information on the CPU L1/L2 cache sizes over the years.

I have only succeeded to find an old chart from 2008 (here).

I know that the cache sizes have stayed roughly the same over the past twenty years, I just want a graphical representation of this info.

Does anyone know where to find one?

Thanks!


Solution

  • There is apparently an open database of historical CPU specifications at http://cpudb.stanford.edu/. I don't see the specific visualization you are asking for, but the data contains cache sizes for processors spanning from 1970s to 2016, so it might be possible to create your own plot from it.
