Cache Memory is needed because Hardware implements cache as a block of memory for temporary storage likely to be used again.

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.
Is cache memory a removable memory?
No, a cache memory is often used to store data that has been needed recently on grounds that it will be faster to access when/if it is needed again. When data that is requested is contained in the cache you have a cache hit, and when you have to retrieve it from the hard drive (or where ever its original storage was) again it is called a cache miss. Retrieving data from the hard drive is slower than retrieving it from the cache.
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.
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..
Is cache memory visible?
No cache memory is not visible.....
What type of RAM is used for cache memory?
sram is used for cache for cache memory.
Where the constantly needed data is stored?
Constantly needed data is stored in RAM, and depending on the system and the CPU used, it may be stored in cache memory. Cache memory is a special, high-speed type of RAM. It is more expensive and uses more current than DRAM, but it is used where speed is critical. Cache memory is generally inside of the CPU these days.
What is cache hit and cache miss?
Type your answer here... in cache memory when the CPU refer to the memory and find the word in cache it is said to be hit or produced....... if the word is not found in cache it is in main memory it counts as a miss
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.
What is miss latency?
miss latency is the time (in cycles) the CPU waits when a miss happen in the cache. (the time needed to bring the data from the main memory to the cache).
What is the difference between cache-memory and primary-memory?
Cache memory is smaller and quicker, primary memory larger and slower.
What is an example of L2 cache memory size?
Level 2 (L2) cache is built onto the processor. On Older slot-mounted processors, L2 cache was external to the processor die, and ran at slower speeds than the processor. on socketed processors, L2 cache is built onto the processor. If the processor does not find the desired memory locations in L1 cache, it checks L2 cache next. However Processors with larger L2 caches perform most tasks much more quickly than processors that have smaller L2 caches for two reasons. Cache memory is faster than main memory and the processor checks cache memory for needed information before checking main memory.
