I'm struggling to find the one I was thinking of, maybe I'm just imagining it. Most things I can find are 256kB/core, which is the same as most Intel chips (though the A11 is over 1MB/core!).

Yeah, you borderline need an L2 for any multicore systems. L2's main job on most designs is coherency and reducing the explosion of bandwidth needs from the cores all vying for the main memory bus.

Yeah, I was amazed when I was told it before. Obviously should've checked their sources. :)
