Find the wrong statement about cache memory i. ii. iii. iv. The cache memory is high speed memory available inside the CPU in order to speed up access to RAM The cache memory is faster, larger and expensive than RAM The cache is usually filled from main memory when instructions or data are fetched into the CPU Multi-level caches generally operate by checking the smallest level 1 (L1) Cache first, if it hits, the processor proceeds at high speed, if the smaller cache misses, the next larger cache (L2) is checked and so on, before external memory is checked. Level 1 cache is measured in KBs
