That's actually two questions. See the related questions below for links to the answers to each of those questions.

What type of RAM is used for cache memory?

sram is used for cache for cache 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.


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).


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.


Memory cache is referred to as?

memory cache is a small amount of RAM (referred to as static RAM) that is much faster than the rest of the RAM, which is called dynamic RAM (DRAM).


A memory cache is small amount of RAM that is much faster than the rest of RAM?

A memory cache is small amount of RAM that is much faster than the rest of RAM?


Is cache memory equal to virtual memory?

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 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.


Is Cache memory generally slower than RAM?

Cache memory is random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. As the microprocessor processes data, it looks first in the cache memory and if it finds the data there (from a previous reading of data), it does not have to do the more time-consuming reading of data from larger memory. Cache Memory generally comes in smaller size (3MB, 6MB etc) than the RAM (512 MB, 1GB,2GB.....)


Which memory is optional to start a computer system?

Random access memory (ram)


What is made up with cache memory?

S RAM...static ram


What is the job of the Ram chip?

L1 Cache - Store copies of very very frequently needed L2 Cache contents (Usually divided into separate Instruction L1 Cache and Data L1 Cache), faster memory than L2 CacheL2 Cache - Store copies of very frequently needed L3 Cache contents, faster memory than L3 CacheL3 Cache - Store copies of frequently needed RAM contents, faster memory than RAMRAM - Store instructions and data of active programs, much faster memory than DiskVirtual Memory - Operating System managed software mechanism for "expanding" RAM beyond what physically exists by dynamically swapping pages of RAM back and forth between a reserved area or file on Disk, as neededDisk - Store instructions and data of inactive programs (and Virtual Memory contents)The memories of L1 Cache through RAM are all based on various RAM technologies, with L1 being most expensive per bit and RAM least expensive per bit, but only a little L1 is used and lots of RAM is used.
