What is Cache Memory? Types of Computer Memory
#CacheMemory #ComputerMemory #TypesOfMemory
Cache memory is a chip-based computer component that makes retrieving data from the computer's memory more efficient. It acts as a temporary storage area that the computer's processor can retrieve data from easily. This temporary storage area, known as a #cache, is more readily available to the processor than the computer's main memory source, typically some form of #DRAM.
Cache memory is sometimes called #CPU (central processing unit) memory because it is typically integrated directly into the #CPUchip or placed on a separate chip that has a separate bus interconnect with the CPU. Therefore, it is more accessible to the processor, and able to increase efficiency, because it's physically close to the processor.
