Many CPUs have what is known as a CPU cache. The function of this CPU cache is to speed up access to data.

Is cache on a CPU?
CPUs do have a cache (either L1, L2 or L3), but cache is not exclusively on the CPU.
Where the the L1 cache located?
L3 cache is located on the motherboard or in CPU housing.Hope this help.
Which type of CPU cache has the highest latency?
The Level 3 (L3) cache has the highest latency. The CPU cache is memory that is used to decrease the time that it takes the CPU to access data. Because the data is cached, it can be accessed more quickly. The CPU cache is often found directly on the CPU or built into the CPU. The L3 cache is usually larger than the L1 and L2 cache, but it is searched last. The CPU searches for data in the following order: L1 cache, L2 cache, L3 cache, RAM.
What is the main function of a computer ram?
It actsas a cache for the CPU to execute instructions and work on temporary data.
What manage data and instructions entering and leaving the CPU?
It is the cache controller that performs this function. It is the "bridge" or interface.= =
What is the function of cache memory?
Cache memory is used to hold a copy of the data from the most frequently accessed memory locations to minimise calculation time. For example, a CPU's cache will hold this data so that it doesn't have to call data from the RAM for every calculation it makes, and merely draws from its local cache.
When evaluating CPU memory do you check the cache memory?
The only memory on the CPU is cache memory and it is only dependent on the CPU type and generation you use.
What was the first Intel CPU to contain an external cache?
The first Intel CPU to feature external cache was the Intel Pentium Pro. External cache is also referred to as L2 cache, while internal cache is called L1 cache.
What is the objective of cache only memory architecture?
Cache memory is the high speed memories which are repeatedly requested by the Cache client (CPU). Whenever the requested data from the cpu is present in the cache, it directly supply the data and is known as cache hit(fast) and when the data is not accessible in cache then cache access the block of the main memory and feed to the CPU and it is termed as cache miss (slow).
What is the name of the memory cache that is closest to the processor die but is not housed on the die?
Level 2 cache (L2 cache).There is no specific name for memory caches based on physical location. CPU memory caches are named for function, not location.As such, there are Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 caches (and, theoretically, there's nothing preventing Levels 4 and up from being created). Each can be located anywhere (on-die, in-package, off-chip, etc.) depending on the design of the CPU and motherboard.Modern x86 chips from Intel and AMD include up to L3 cache on-die.
What was the first microprocessor to include both an L1 and L2 cache with CPU?
The Pentium Pro had both an L1 and an L2 cache on the CPU.
What cache is generally incorperated into the CPU structure?
L1 Cache. And more recently, the L2 cache as well.
