SoC designers have a problem: RAM is slow and it can't keep up with the CPU. The workaround is known as cache memory.

Computer memory capacity has expanded greatly, allowing machines to perform tasks very quickly, but accessing the computer's central processing unit for each task slows the machine and negates the ...

The flow of data between the various forms of memory on your computer is as follows: primary storage, to system memory (RAM), to L3 cache, to L2 cache, to L1 cache.

These two moves put SanDisk at the forefront of a major effort to create a large market for flash memory used as a cache in modern computer and storage system architectures.

There is where the real challenge awaits for computer architects, creating bigger L1 cache memory with as low latency as achievable. Carlos Moreno, CETYS It's about where your bottleneck exists.
