A
Cache
B
Core
C
Intel
D
Clock speed
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cache is a smaller memory configuration reserved from main memory to make computer operations more efficient. The cache is nearer to the central processing unit (CPU) than main memory, enabling optimal performance when users access certain types of data.

Detailed explanation-2: -CPU cache is a bit of memory placed on the CPU. This memory operates at the speed of the CPU rather than at the system bus speed and is much faster than RAM. Disk cache holds recently read data and, sometimes, adjacent data areas that are likely to be accessed soon.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cache memory is faster than the system RAM, and it is closer to the CPU because it is on the processor chip. The cache provides data storage and instructions to prevent the CPU from waiting for data to be retrieved from RAM.

Detailed explanation-4: -Types of cache memory L1 cache, or primary cache, is extremely fast but relatively small, and is usually embedded in the processor chip as CPU cache. L2 cache, or secondary cache, is often more capacious than L1.
