No! ; Cache memory is integrated in the CPU. Virtual memory is a part of the hard drive that the OS use as ram memory, when running out of real ram memory.

What is the recommended size of cache memory in a processor?
The maximum size of a cache memory is theoretically equal to the amount of primary memory(RAM).Like Cache only memory architecture where the whole memory space is filled up with the cache only.
Differentiate between the physical virtual and cache memory Explain briefly?
Virtual memory is a type of memory that is allocated by the operating system and is used to speed up operations. Cache memory is RAM that the CPU can access faster than regular ram which is considered physical memory. When the CPU is looking for data, it checks the cache memory first, recently used data will still be in the cache. If it does not find it there, it moves on to use the physical memory. Anytime a program or file is opened, it is first loaded into RAM (physical memory).
What are the type of cache memory?
There are different type of cache memory: processor cache memory, cache memory ram,1 cache memory l2, cache memory, CPU cache memory, disk cache memory, hard disk cache, cache memory motherboard.
What are the two types of cache memory?
There are different type of cache memory: processor cache memory, cache memory ram,1 cache memory l2, cache memory, CPU cache memory, disk cache memory, hard disk cache, cache memory motherboard.
What is the technique of using the hard drive as though it were RAM?
Virtual Memory or Cache would both be acceptable.
Special high-speed memory built into the micro processor for the micro processors?
virtual memory
What is the difference between ram ROM cmos cache and virtual memory?
Short answer is difficult, but we need one. Your computer contains all kinds of virtual memory.. on the RAM chips primarily. Maxed-out older computers resort to using space on the disk drive, which is relatively slow. A cache is a saved memory of what you have recently been doing, and is used since it is very fast. It duplicates a finite amount of what is in virtual memory.
What if Cache size is equal to main memory size?
If we took size of cache as large as size of main memory then the main purpose of cache(take less time) would come to end, as larger the cache slower would be it's processing speed.
Is cache memory visible?
No cache memory is not visible.....
Cache memory and register memory?
Register memory are smaller in size than cache memory and registers are faster than cache..Cache memory store the frequently used data from main memory..
What type of RAM is used for cache memory?
sram is used for cache for cache memory.
Why is cache memory needed?
Cache Memory is needed because Hardware implements cache as a block of memory for temporary storage likely to be used again.
