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.
