Duplicate of Why is CPU cache memory so fast? | |
| Feb 24, 2015 at 18:39 | comment | added | Doval | The gist of it is that the technology used for cache memory is different (faster, more expensive, probably more power-hungry too) and the distance the data has to travel is much shorter. And in multi-core systems each core can usually write immediately to its own cache, but may have to synchronize with other cores working on the same memory contents before writing back to main memory. | |
