cache secundário
1. A CPU cache memory level that stores data and instructions between the primary cache and main memory, typically larger but slower than L1 cache
Modern processors often have a secondary cache that holds recently accessed data to improve performance.

The secondary cache is checked before accessing the slower main memory.

This is a technical term primarily used in computer science and engineering contexts across both Brazil and the USA. In Brazilian technical communities, 'cache secundário' is the standard translation, while in Portugal, more descriptive phrases are sometimes preferred. The term has remained relatively stable across English-speaking regions due to its specialized nature.
