Good question that I don't personally have a good answer for except to say that I was also under the impression L3 was shared. I would just ask why on earth you're calling these '2nd generation' Xeons when 'Xeon' has been an Intel product for a decade now. (If this is by analogy to Sandy Bridge i3/5/7 chips being '2nd generation' then it's a bad analogy)– ShinraiCommented Apr 16, 2012 at 22:02

Intel refers to the i7-2600 line of CPU's as "2nd-generation" (ark.intel.com/products/family/59136/…). By "2nd-generation Xeon" I mean the equivalent release of the Xeon Sandy-Bridge E architecture CPU's on March 6, 2012 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…).– Dan NissenbaumCommented Apr 16, 2012 at 22:10

1That's the analogy I thought you were making. It's a bad one (those are 2nd gen i7s but these are not 2nd gen Xeons), and I'd change the title IMO...I was expecting to find a question about 12 year old processors and that might keep a lot of people from clicking into here. Maybe change '2nd generation' to 'Sandy Bridge-E'.– ShinraiCommented Apr 16, 2012 at 22:13

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
