1. A high-speed memory component integrated into or located close to the processor that stores frequently accessed data and instructions to reduce access time from the main memory
The CPU cache significantly improves processing speed by storing the most recently used data.
A memória cache da CPU melhora significativamente a velocidade de processamento ao armazenar os dados usados mais recentemente.
2. A smaller, faster memory buffer that acts as an intermediary between the processor and RAM
Modern processors have multiple levels of CPU cache, including L1, L2, and L3 caches.
Os processadores modernos possuem múltiplos níveis de memória cache da CPU, incluindo caches L1, L2 e L3.
CPU cache is a universal technical term used identically in both Brazilian and American computing communities. The term is rarely translated colloquially and is widely recognized among tech professionals in both countries. In Portuguese-speaking regions, while 'memória cache' is the standard translation, many professionals simply use the English term 'CPU cache' in technical documentation and conversations.
