Differences Between RAM, ROM, and Cache


Memory
Introduction

• Computer memory is crucial for


processing and storing data. Key
types include RAM, ROM, and
Cache memory, each serving
specific purposes.
What is RAM?

Random Access
- Volatile memory.
Memory (RAM):

- Temporary storage - Faster than most


for active processes. storage devices.

- Example: Running
applications and the
operating system.
Read-Only Memory - Non-volatile
(ROM): memory.

normal operations.

- Example: Boot-up
instructions.
What is Cache
Memory?

• Cache Memory:
• - High-speed storage located
close to the CPU.
• - Stores frequently accessed data.
• - Reduces latency and speeds up
data retrieval.
• - Example: CPU cache (L1, L2, L3).

instructions.
Key Differences:
RAM vs Cache

• RAM:
• - Larger capacity.
• - Stores active processes.
• - Relatively slower than cache.

• Cache:
• - Smaller capacity.
• - Stores frequently accessed data.
• - Extremely fast.
Practical Applications

- RAM:
Multitasking,
gaming, and
real-time
processing.

- ROM: Ensures
a reliable

Conclusion

• Understanding RAM, ROM, and


Cache memory helps optimize
system performance. Each type
of memory plays a unique role in
computing efficiency.
