There are several types of storage inside a CPU.

First, there is one or more areas of cache memory. That is special static memory which is made to be fast. That is to reduce accesses to the main memory and store the most commonly used instructions.

Then older CPUs had an area known as a prefetch queue. It functions much like a cache, but is much smaller.

Finally, there are CPU registers. The registers are small areas of memory used for executing instructions and storing the results. If you wish to add two numbers, for instance, your code must copy them to the registers and then perform the addition instruction on the registers. Then the code would collect the result from the registers.
