L2 cache

L2 Glossary Link cache is a set of memory circuits designed to speed access to important and frequently used data.

Early L2 cache designs involved fast static RAM memory chips placed near the Glossary Link CPU. Modern L2 caches involve RAM built directly into the CPU.

L2 cache is typically larger but slower than L1 cache.

L2 cache is an abbreviation of Level 2 cache.
