Equivalent to what processor? Suppose the motherboard does have L2 cache (external), typically 256K too enabled?
Search online and here turned up little.

It’s hard to know exactly without testing, generally if l1 is gone you end up around a 386DX level of performance
Disable L2 and you just have a slow 486
That is exactly what I have in mind. To create 386-like performance to revisit old times, My first computer that is real-deal was 386DX 25, on slow CHIPS chipset with no cache.

386@20mhz.
You can use a benchmarking tool called “Topbench” to find the speed of your CPU.

Well by default 486DX33 is already a slow 486 😉
