Not necessary (e.g.) on detecting that a cache line resides in multiple 
caches doing an immediate write back and invalidating for all other 
caches a cache line that is written to in one cache would forces a 
synchronization without too much overhead. AFAIK certain processors 
provide a dedicated fast inter-cache bus for such operations.

I suppose how exactly this is done depends on the CPU manufacturer.
