Detailed explanation-1: -L1 cache is the first cache level, which holds data that the CPU has recently used. It stores recently used data from the processor cores for quick access by other parts of the system. Data in this area is frequently accessed because it resides close to the CPU.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Cache memory, which also is a type of random access memory, does not need to be refreshed. It is built directly into the CPU to give the processor the fastest possible access to memory locations and provides nanosecond speed access time to frequently referenced instructions and data.
