A processor stores data primarily in its registers, which are small, high-speed storage locations within the CPU used for temporary data manipulation. For longer-term storage, data is transferred to the cache memory, which is faster than main memory (RAM) but smaller in size. When the processor requires data that is not in the registers or cache, it retrieves it from RAM or other storage devices through the system's memory hierarchy. Data is typically stored in binary format, represented as bits (0s and 1s).

What does data?

RAM stands for random access memory. It helps the processor work more efficiently by copying specific files from the hard drive onto it so the processor can get to them faster. It basically stores temporary data for the computer while it's running and is wiped clean when it's shut down.
