What is the high-speed, small-capacity memory located between the CPU and main RAM to accelerate data access?
ACache Memory
BRegister Memory
CFlash Memory
DVirtual Memory
Explanation
Cache memory is extremely fast, high-speed static RAM (SRAM) integrated directly into or near the CPU die (L1, L2, L3 caches). It bridges the speed gap between the high-speed CPU processor cores and slower dynamic RAM (DRAM).
