Cache memory is the fastest type of memory in a computer system. It is a small, high-speed memory unit located either inside or very close to the CPU. Its primary function is to store frequently accessed data and instructions so that the processor can retrieve them quickly without having to access the slower main memory (RAM).

Cache memory is built using high-speed Static RAM (SRAM) technology, which makes it significantly faster than both DRAM (used in main memory) and traditional storage devices. It acts as a buffer between the CPU and main memory, improving processing speed and overall system performance.
