This is a Q6600 which has cache size of 8 MB. Unless it's reporting each
half's effective L2, I think it should be reporting 8192 instead of 4096.

Each pair of cores appears to get 4MB of L2, according to the product
brief PDF on Intel's website.

There are two L2's, each of 4MB. Each L2 shared by two cores.

You really need to look in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cache/ to get
any kind of useful information.
