Fast access memory which is inside the actual CPU chip.
CPUs do have a cache (either L1, L2 or L3), but cache is not exclusively on the CPU.
The Pentium Pro had both an L1 and an L2 cache on the CPU.
L3 cache is located on the motherboard or in CPU housing.Hope this help.
The L1 cache speed runs at the same speed as the CPU-central processing unit.
L1 cache (i.e. Level 1 Cache)is the short memroy present with the CPU which stores the instructions or data in a queue for quick access for the CPU.
what is L1 cache
64 bit data bus and two L1 (64KB) caches; one L1 cache for each core (cpu)

L1 Cache. And more recently, the L2 cache as well.
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.
It's fairly common for a processor to have its L1 cache divided into two parts: one for storing data and one for storing instructions. It would the the instruction half of the L1 cache in which incoming commands would be stored.
