Cache Memory

Cache Memory is a fast, volatile memory used to store frequently accessed data for quicker CPU access. It is divided into levels, primarily L1 and L2, with varying sizes and access speeds. Smaller cache sizes allow for faster access but may require more frequent access to the slower main memory, impacting overall performance.
