Why “cache memory” is faster than other type of memories?

Do you know how much cache your microprocessor have? It might be between 2-MB to 12-MB. Cache memory depending upon the specificationof the processor. If you don’t know, check it after reading this post because this is an important factor that will tell you how much smooth multi-tasking you can do?

So, today I will tell you why cache memory is faster than other type of memories?

Cache memory is faster than main memory and auxiliary memory because main memory uses dynamic RAM and auxiliary memories are of magnetic type.

But on the other side cache has static RAM.

Now the next question is why static RAM is faster?

Dynamic RAM’s one memory cell has one capacitor and one transistor which has to refresh periodically and which make it compact in size but make it slower in speed.

The static RAM’s cell uses 6 transistors and no capacitor which make it bulky but faster due to absence of refreshing.

This is the reason why today’s computer’s processors have only 2-12 MBcapacity because we can’t make the large static RAM in microprocessor due to size.

So here is the question for you please tell me in the comment box which consumer electronics microprocessor has the maximum cache memory? Thanks for reading. Like, comment, and share the post.
