CPU Internal Cache / External Cache Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster access by the CPU.
