Is level 3 cache faster for the CPU to reach and is larger in size than Level 1 cache?
False
What is a cache outside the processor called?
L2 cache. Today's processors all have some memory on the processor chip (called a die). Memory on the processor die is called Level 1 cache (L1 cache). Memory in the processor package, but not on the processor die, is called Level 2 cache (L2 cache). Some processors use a third cache farther from the processor core, but still in the processor package, which is called Level 3 cache (L3 cache).
If there is L2 cache in the processor housing and additional cache on the motherboard the cache on the motherboard is called cache?
The motherboard doesn't contain cache. The chips do, but the motherboard contain RAM modules. Like when you hear a PC has 512MB of memory. The cache (memory on the chip) follows lines called a bus to the RAM (memory on the motherboard).Answer: Level 3

What is level 1 2 and 3 cache?
; L3 Cache (Level 3 Cache) This type of cache is becoming more prevalent as microprocessor manufacturers ship more processors with L1 and L2 cache built into the processor. L3 cache is then the extra cache that sits on the motherboard between the processor and main memory, since the processor already contains L1 and L2 cache. Some processors are starting to ship with L3 cache built-in as well to speed up memory operations further. In those cases the L3 cache often sits on a separate area of the die, not built directly into the chip core.
What is the memory on a CPU called?
Level 1 Cache (L1 cache) There are L1, L2, and L3 cache. There is also a memory controller within the processor package. Level 1 is on the die while L2 is off. Level 3 is a shared cache. These act similar to RAM sticks on your motherboard however, they hold their data a lot longer. The RAM on your motherboard is called Dynamic RAM and the RAM in your memory cache is Static RAM. Static RAM costs way more than Dynamic RAM. Hope this helps.
What is the name of the memory cache that is closest to the processor die but is not housed on the die?
Level 2 cache (L2 cache).There is no specific name for memory caches based on physical location. CPU memory caches are named for function, not location.As such, there are Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 caches (and, theoretically, there's nothing preventing Levels 4 and up from being created). Each can be located anywhere (on-die, in-package, off-chip, etc.) depending on the design of the CPU and motherboard.Modern x86 chips from Intel and AMD include up to L3 cache on-die.
What is meant by cache memory?
In a computer, cache memory is a special type of fast access memory that is between the CPU and the main memory. If the CPU always had to access main memory, it would spend most of its time idle waiting for that memory to respond. But because memory accesses statistically tend to cluster around each other in real programs instead of completely randomly scattering across memory, a single CPU memory access can cause the cache memory controller to perform a fast burst access of main memory including that address to load an entire "line" of cache memory. If a following CPU memory access is in this same "line" of cache memory that has already been loaded, it will not have to wait for the main memory to respond, instead the cache responds first providing the copy it has of that address' contents.Cache memory was originally invented in the late 1950s by IBM for their 7030 Stretch supercomputer (a machine built entirely using discrete germanium transistors, no integrated circuits at all). However all the 7030 documents use the term "virtual memory" for what is now universally called cache memory, and "virtual memory" means something entirely different now.Each cache memory unit is composed of three sections:cache controllercontent addressable memory (CAM)fast access static random access memory (SRAM)The cache controller section contains all the logic circuits that coordinate the operation between the CPU(s), cache, and main memory. The CAM is a special type of memory used to store the memory address of each active cache "line" along with some status bits that is addressed by it contents (not an address number as in ordinary RAM and ROM). The SRAM contains the copies of address contents previously read from main memory, and is addressed through the CAM. Cache memory is organized into levels (L1, L2, L3, etc.) with the L1 Cache closest to the CPU and each additional level further away until the final Cache level connects directly to the memory. The L1 Cache uses the fastest speed SRAM but has the smallest amount of SRAM and each additional level uses slower speed SRAM but has more SRAM than the previous level. The L1 Cache is usually divided into two independent Caches (L1 Instruction Cache and L1 Data Cache) and is dedicated to supporting only one CPU but each additional level is usually a single Cache (shared by both instructions and data) and in systems having multiple CPUs may be shared by two or more CPUs. In systems having multiple CPUs the cache controllers must implement special bus protocols to coordinate line invalidations and updates to prevent some of the CPUs from accessing obsolete Cache contents from its Caches when a different CPU that does not use those Caches has modified memory that is mapped to both its local Caches and the other CPUs local caches.Proper design of a Cache memory system for a computer requires extensive simulation of typical real code expected to be used on the system. Any problems found must be corrected, so that the Cache usage will remain even and balanced, and anticipated performance verified.
What is the name of the memory cache that is on the same die as the processor?
Level 1 cache (L1 cache)There is no specific name for memory caches based on physical location. CPU memory caches are named for function, not location.As such, there are Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 caches (and, theoretically, there's nothing preventing Levels 4 and up from being created). Each can be located anywhere (on-die, in-package, off-chip, etc.) depending on the design of the CPU and motherboard.Modern x86 chips from Intel and AMD include up to L3 cache on-die.
What is the difference between the three cache memory?
This question should be more specific so that someone can more easily and accurately assist you. However, i will attempt to answer your question assuming that your are asking about the L1, L2, and L3 cache memory types. L1, L2 and L3 (or level 1, level 2 and level 3) are different memories seperate from the processor, but it is the memory more easiest and quickly accessible by the processor, or cpu. These memories are used by the processor to store common instructions, images..etc. so that it can easly and quickly access it whenever required to. First the processor checks the L1 cache memory (usually the level with the lowest amount of memory), if it doesn't find what it needs there then it searches through the L2 and then L3. If what the processor needs isn't in the cache memory, then it will check the HDD and RAM.
How much cache memory is available in Intel i3 Processor?
3 mb
Difference between L1 cache and L2 cache?
A memory cache, sometimes called a cache store or RAM cache, is a portion of memory made of high-speed static RAM (SRAM) instead of the slower and cheaper dynamic RAM (DRAM) used for main memory. Memory caching is effective because most programs access the same data or instructions over and over. By keeping as much of this information as possible in SRAM, the computer avoids accessing the slower DRAM. Short for Level 1 cache, a memory cache built into the microprocessor. Short for Level 2 cache, cache memory that is external to the microprocessor. In general, L2 cache memory, also called the secondary cache, resides on a separate chip from the microprocessor chip. As more and more processors begin to include L2 cache into their architectures, Level 3 cache is now the name for the extra cache built into motherboards between the microprocessor and the main memory. the l2 cache is now always built onto the processor for x86 archetechure
