Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

Cache memory or CPU memory, is type of random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. Cache memory supplies the processor with the most frequently requested data and instructions.

Level 1 cache (primary cache) is the cache closest to the processor. Level 2 cache (secondary cache) is the cache second closest to the processor and is usually on the motherboard. Cache memory is integrated directly with the CPU chip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU.


Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
