Improving on numbers that don't actually answer the question, L1 Cache memory is burnt into the CPU die, made of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) that operates at a very high transfer rate. It is used to temporarily store simple data strings for the CPU to access in order to better prioritize data. L1 Cache is very expensive to produce, so capacities are usually very small. Larger L1 Cache increases the accuracy of CPU data operations to a point, so processor manufacturers tend to aim for a sweet spot rather than too much or too little L1.

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).


Is cache memory found on the motherboard?

external cache or level 2 or L2 cache


What is the memory of the cache that is closest to the processor die but is not housed on the die?

Level 2 cache (L2 cache)


What is the name of the memory cache that is closest to the processor die but is not housed on die?

What will happen next if a cache miss occurs in the level 1 cache in a system with a level 1 and level 2 cache where will the required data be requested from next?

Cache misses move up the chain (or down the chain, if you want to think of it that way). If the information required is not in your L1 cache, then it checks for it in the L2 cache. If it isn't there either, then you need to go out and grab it from main memory.


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 an L1 cache?

Cache is a special type of memory which is quicker to access. stuff you have recently used will go to your cache so when you perform a function you have just performed it will happen quicker. 4MB is a large cache. Level two Cache is a special memory type that is faster than Lv1 Cache, it is like RAM but it is used by the CPU as a fuction Storage to make that process faster.


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
