____ is a small amount of memory which is a part of the CPU-closer to the CPU than RAM.
A
Cache
B
Core
C
Intel
D
Clock speed
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A CPU cache is a hardware cache used by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to reduce the average cost (time or energy) to access data from the main memory. A cache is a smaller, faster memory, located closer to a processor core, which stores copies of the data from frequently used main memory locations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cache is a small amount of memory which is a part of the CPU-closer to the CPU than RAM. It is used to temporarily hold instructions and data that the CPU is likely to reuse.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cache memory is a chip-based computer component that makes retrieving data from the computer’s memory more efficient. It acts as a temporary storage area that the computer’s processor can retrieve data from easily.

Detailed explanation-4: -CPU proximity. RAM, both are situated near the computer processor. Both deliver high performance. Within the memory hierarchy, cache is closer and thus faster than RAM.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cache is the temporary memory officially termed “CPU cache memory.” This chip-based feature of your computer lets you access some information more quickly than if you access it from your computer’s main hard drive.
