Why does the speed of a computer increases as soon as we increase the size of the cache memory?

This would ONLY be true if the computer had been built with insufficient cash memory.
Cash memory is faster than RAM and its IO performance is matched to the processing speed of the CPU chip. The cash sits between the CPU and the RAM, pre-fetching the data the CPU will need next. It therefore needs to be large enough to ensure that the processor does not use all the
data in the cash before more can be staged in from the RAM. After this adding more cash will not improve performance further.
Knowing this many chip manufacturers build in the cash needed for the CUP as part of the chip.

Why does the speed of a computer increase as soon as we increase the size of the cache memory?
Basically for the same reason that cache itself helps increase the speed. If there is more cache memory, the computer will have more information readily available, and there will be less cases where the information CAN'T be found in cache, and the CPU needs to access actual RAM, which is slower (or whatever other source of data the cache is supposed to speed up).
What is called A reserved area of the immediate access memory used to increase the running speed of the computer program?
cache memory
What is the least common memory slot found in a computer?
Cache memory is least common memory that found in computer.
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.
Which memory is in built in CPU?
if you mean processor then cache memory if you mean computer then ROM
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.
Where is cache memory in your PC?
cache memory is two types : cache1, and cache2 cache1 is the fastest memory cache2 is the second fastest memory in the computer and it is situated on the mother-board himanshupareek66@gmail.com
What is a cache?
Answer:- The Cache memory is placed between the CPU and the main memory. It is a fast speed memory and is expensive and faster than the main memory. Cache memory is used to store the frequently accessed data of main memory. The instructions that are frequently used by the CPU are stored in the cache memory. It is used to reduce the average access time for address, instructions or data, which are normally stored in the main memory. Cache memory increases the operating speed of the system. But is much costlier than main memory. From economic considerations, the capacity of the cache memory is much less as compared to main memory..
How does memory cache speed up computer processing A Cahce memory doesn't need to be refreshed so access time is faster B Cache memory refreshes instantly so acess time is faster. C Cache memory uses?
A
What stores frequently used instructions and data?
Memory cache stores frequently used instructions and data on a computer. Cache memory is stored on a memory chip in an area of the RAM.
What is the purpose of the registers and cache memory in the computer system?
The register is a collection of different settings and configurations for the operating system. Cache memory is a way for the computer to load webpages faster by storing them in RAM.
Which memory is optional to start a computer system?
Random access memory (ram)
