I did some research

manual from Agner's Fog page
The microarchitecture of Intel, AMD and VIA CPUs

20.17 Cache and memory access
Level 1 code      64 kB, 4 way, 256 sets, 64 B line size, per core. Latency 4 clocks

As well i created some performance tests and found out that if loop crossed 64 B line it got 20% performance lose while measurement error was 2%.
