I didn't find the appropriate command when I first posted, but I now remember that `cpuid` can also output a lot of information when it is recent enough: deterministic cache parameters (4): --- cache 0 --- cache type = data cache (1) cache level = 0x1 (1) self-initializing cache level = true fully associative cache = false extra threads sharing this cache = 0x0 (0) extra processor cores on this die = 0x1 (1) system coherency line size = 0x3f (63) physical line partitions = 0x0 (0) ways of associativity = 0x7 (7) WBINVD/INVD behavior on lower caches = true inclusive to lower caches = false complex cache indexing = false number of sets - 1 (s) = 63 --- cache 1 --- cache type = instruction cache (2) cache level = 0x1 (1) self-initializing cache level = true fully associative cache = false extra threads sharing this cache = 0x0 (0) extra processor cores on this die = 0x1 (1) system coherency line size = 0x3f (63) physical line partitions = 0x0 (0) ways of associativity = 0x7 (7) WBINVD/INVD behavior on lower caches = true inclusive to lower caches = false complex cache indexing = false number of sets - 1 (s) = 63 --- cache 2 --- cache type = unified cache (3) cache level = 0x2 (2) self-initializing cache level = true fully associative cache = false extra threads sharing this cache = 0x1 (1) extra processor cores on this die = 0x1 (1) system coherency line size = 0x3f (63) physical line partitions = 0x0 (0) ways of associativity = 0x7 (7) WBINVD/INVD behavior on lower caches = true inclusive to lower caches = false complex cache indexing = false number of sets - 1 (s) = 4095 It's from an early Core 2 Duo (Intel Core 2 Duo (Allendale B2), 65nm). I am too lazy to check on my laptop which is more recent. -- Say what you mean, simply and directly. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plauger)
