Absolutely not. Not only are you talking about something that's the physical size of a couple plant cells, you're talking about something hard-burnt deep in the depths of a processor's die. It cant' be accessed without destroying the chip unless you can work on the nano-scale. The L1 cache is small because it is expensive, increasing its size would slow it down, and increasing its size has very little effective change on the performance of the CPU.

Which type of memory cannot be upgraded without replacing a Processor RAM L1 Cache L2 Cache L3 Cache All of the above?
ram --- Wrong. RAM actually CAN be upgraded without touching the processor. L1, L2, and L3 cache are physically located INSIDE of the processor, so they obviously cannot be changed or upgraded without replacing the processor itself.
Can you name the two cache memory?
l1 cache l2 cache
What cache typically has the most memory?
Caches are generally defined as L1, L2, and L3. If a CPU has any cache memory at all, it will have at least L1 cache. L1 cache is the fastest, and most expensive, type of cache memory. Usually CPUs will only have a very small amount of L1. L2 is typically larger, less expensive, and slower than L1. L3 is less expensive, larger, and slower than L1 or L2, if present. All three levels of cache memory are magnitudes faster than system memory. Systems withequivalenthardware, including CPUs will identical speeds, will perform better at certain tasks when more cache memory is present, with L1 cache adding the most performance boost.
What memory locations are the fastest in terms of access solid state drives cpu registers main memory l1 cache?
Cache
What type of memory is used for L1 cache?
Static RAM or SRAM
What is the cache memory of core 2 duo?
It has 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 4 MB of L2 cache.
What is L1 cache?
Fast access memory which is inside the actual CPU chip.
What is the size of L1 and L2 cache?
Usually the size of the L2 cache will be larger than the L1 cache so that if data hit in L 1 cache occurs, it can look for it in L 2 cache.. If data is not in both of the caches, then it goes to the main memory...
What is difference between l1 cash and l2 cash in computers?
Answering L1 and L2 are levels of cache memory in a computer. If the computer processor can find the data it needs for its next operation in cache memory, it will save time compared to having to get it from random access memory. L1 is "level-1" cache memory, usually built onto the microprocessor chip itself. For example, the Intel MMX microprocessor comes with 32 thousand bytes of L1. L2 (that is, level-2) cache memory is on a separate chip (possibly on an expansion card) that can be accessed more quickly than the larger "main" memory. A popular L2 cache memory size is 1,024 kilobytes (one megabyte).
What is the name of the memory cache that is on the die as the processor?
L1, L2 and L3 (depending on the age of your motherboard and processor)
What is the difference between the three cache memory?
This question should be more specific so that someone can more easily and accurately assist you. However, i will attempt to answer your question assuming that your are asking about the L1, L2, and L3 cache memory types. L1, L2 and L3 (or level 1, level 2 and level 3) are different memories seperate from the processor, but it is the memory more easiest and quickly accessible by the processor, or cpu. These memories are used by the processor to store common instructions, images..etc. so that it can easly and quickly access it whenever required to. First the processor checks the L1 cache memory (usually the level with the lowest amount of memory), if it doesn't find what it needs there then it searches through the L2 and then L3. If what the processor needs isn't in the cache memory, then it will check the HDD and RAM.
What is the job of the Ram chip?
L1 Cache - Store copies of very very frequently needed L2 Cache contents (Usually divided into separate Instruction L1 Cache and Data L1 Cache), faster memory than L2 CacheL2 Cache - Store copies of very frequently needed L3 Cache contents, faster memory than L3 CacheL3 Cache - Store copies of frequently needed RAM contents, faster memory than RAMRAM - Store instructions and data of active programs, much faster memory than DiskVirtual Memory - Operating System managed software mechanism for "expanding" RAM beyond what physically exists by dynamically swapping pages of RAM back and forth between a reserved area or file on Disk, as neededDisk - Store instructions and data of inactive programs (and Virtual Memory contents)The memories of L1 Cache through RAM are all based on various RAM technologies, with L1 being most expensive per bit and RAM least expensive per bit, but only a little L1 is used and lots of RAM is used.
