Cache is faster and smaller than RAM but they both hold instructions and contain addresses for the CPU.

What Cache and RAM are and how do they interact with the CPU?

Current instructions Register (CIR): Holds the instruction before it gets decoded

Memory Data Register (MDR): Takes the instruction from the RAM to be decoded

Program Counter (PC): Tells us the address of the next instructions

Memory Address Register (MAR): Holds the address of the next instruction to be fetched

Accumulator: Store the results of the ALU
