What is cache memory?

The cache is a very high speed, expensive piece of memory , whis is used to speed up the mmemory retrieval process.

Types of Cache Memory

L1 Cache (Primary Cache)

This cache level is fast as the processor because it is embedded in the processor.

L3 Cache( Shared Cache)

L2 cache ( External Cache)

This cache catches the recent data all across CPU cores; this is usually slow than L1 and L2.

This cache level is use to catch recent data access from the processor not caught by level 1.

It was the chosen to represent the level of the memory hierarchy between the processor and main memory.
