Question

Speed mismatch between CPU and memory access is reduced by __________.

• A. Reducing size of memory
• B. Memory interleaving
• C. Cache memory
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Cache memory

Speed mismatch between CPU and memory access is reduced by Cache memory.

Cache memory is a small-sized type of volatile computer memory that provides high-speed data access to a processor and stores frequently used computer programs, applications and data. It is the fastest memory in a computer, and is typically integrated onto the motherboard and directly embedded in the processor or main random access memory (RAM).
