Core i5 2nd Generation (Sandy Bridge) - Disable only cache L2/L3

553 Views

Hi, i'm an electronic engineer. I need to disable (or exclude) only L2 and L3 cache on Core i5-2410m (06_2AH). Software Developer’s Manual (11.5.3 Preventing Caching) explain how to disable L1, L2 and L3 cache by using CR0 and MTRR but i need to disable only L2 and L3 cache. It is possible? How to do it? Thanks
