Cache is a small, fast copy of parts of RAM and may or may not actually be physically part of the CPU. The key points of it are being faster than RAM, being between the CPU and RAM, and (at least ideally) being synchronized with RAM. Registers are actually part of the CPU and are used for direct processing (some architectures can directly manipulate RAM with non load/store instructions). Registers can be directly manipulated by the programmer in Assembly. Cache is managed by the CPU, though careful planning can influence cache usage. | |
