It depends on how Intel use the cache- it is obviously totally different to AMDs cache for example.
if anything they'de go UP.

Core CPU
64k fast cache
6mb medium cash

k8 CPU
128k fast cache
2mb medium speed cache

k10 cpu
k8 CPU
128k fast cache
1mb medium speed cache
3mb SLOW cache

nehalem
64k fast cache
2mb somewhat fast cache speed cache
8mb medium cache
