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.

Is cache on a CPU?

CPUs do have a cache (either L1, L2 or L3), but cache is not exclusively on the CPU.


Which cache level is on the motherboard and is separate from the processor chip?

L2 cache


What cache is generally incorperated into the CPU structure?

L1 Cache. And more recently, the L2 cache as well.


What cache typically has the most memory?

Caches are generally defined as L1, L2, and L3. If a CPU has any cache memory at all, it will have at least L1 cache. L1 cache is the fastest, and most expensive, type of cache memory. Usually CPUs will only have a very small amount of L1. L2 is typically larger, less expensive, and slower than L1. L3 is less expensive, larger, and slower than L1 or L2, if present. All three levels of cache memory are magnitudes faster than system memory. Systems withequivalenthardware, including CPUs will identical speeds, will perform better at certain tasks when more cache memory is present, with L1 cache adding the most performance boost.


What is the size of L1 and L2 cache?

Usually the size of the L2 cache will be larger than the L1 cache so that if data hit in L 1 cache occurs, it can look for it in L 2 cache.. If data is not in both of the caches, then it goes to the main memory...


What is the size of the data bus and l1 cache on a core 2 duo CPU?

64 bit data bus and two L1 (64KB) caches; one L1 cache for each core (cpu)


What is the size of the data bus and the L1 cache on a Core 2 Duo CPU?

What is an l1?

L1 cache (i.e. Level 1 Cache)is the short memroy present with the CPU which stores the instructions or data in a queue for quick access for the CPU.
