Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -RAM (random access memory) is a computer’s short-term memory, where the data that the processor is currently using is stored. Your computer can access RAM memory much faster than data on a hard disk, SSD, or other long-term storage device, which is why RAM capacity is critical for system performance.

Detailed explanation-3: -RAM is both used for temporary storage and from a technical perspective, it is only capable of temporary storage. The hard drive is capable of storing information after the computer turns off, but RAM is not.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -In computing, a cache is a high-speed data storage layer which stores a subset of data, typically transient in nature, so that future requests for that data are served up faster than is possible by accessing the data’s primary storage location.
