What is used for a memory cache and is contained within the processor housing?

SRAM (Static RAM)


What is discrete cache?

A discrete L2 cache is in the same housing as the processor, but resides on a separate microchip. It typically runs at half the speed of the processor, unlike ATC which resides on the same microchip as the processor and runs at the same speed as the CPU.


What is the difference between the locations of the L2 cahe and the Advanced Transfer Cache?

The discrete L2 is located within the processor housing, on a separate chip. The Advanced Transfer Cache is located directly on the processor die itself.

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.


What is a cache outside the processor called?

L2 cache. Today's processors all have some memory on the processor chip (called a die). Memory on the processor die is called Level 1 cache (L1 cache). Memory in the processor package, but not on the processor die, is called Level 2 cache (L2 cache). Some processors use a third cache farther from the processor core, but still in the processor package, which is called Level 3 cache (L3 cache).


Is there any cache present in processor?

yes..there is a cache which is present in the processor.
