Cache Memory

Working of Cache Memory

Cache memory is high-speed memory. Basically, the CPU reads data from RAM, but the CPU operates at 3.0* GHz and RAM operate at 2100* MHz, so there is a speed mismatch. To overcome this speed mismatch problem cache memory is implemented between CPU and RAM, so that data can be transmitted to CPU and RAM at their respective operating speed.

Cache memory is further divided into different levels L1, L2, or L3 with a different storage capacity for each level.


*CPU and RAM operational speeds vary as per their versions or generations.
