The small amount of very fast memory for a CPU is known as cache memory. Cache is used to temporarily store frequently accessed data and instructions, allowing the CPU to retrieve them more quickly than fetching from the main memory (RAM). It is typically divided into multiple levels (L1, L2, and sometimes L3), with L1 being the fastest and smallest. This hierarchy helps improve overall processing speed and efficiency.
