What is cache memory?



What is cache memory?..

Answer / rajeev

Cache memory is very high-speed Memory chips which exist
between the CPU and main memory. It stores (i.e., caches)
memory accesses by the CPU. Cache ram helps to alleviate
the gap between the speed of a CPU's megahertz rating and
the ability of RAM to respond and deliver data. It reduces
the frequency that the CPU must wait for data from the main
memory.
