Question 4Computer Architecture

Which is the fastest memory?

  • a)RAM
  • b)Secondary memory
  • c)DRAM
  • d)Cache (correct answer)
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (d) Cache

Cache memory is a small, very fast SRAM memory placed between the CPU and main memory to hold recently and frequently used instructions and data. Typical access times show the gap:

  • L1 cache ≈ 1 ns
  • DRAM main memory ≈ 50–100 ns, so cache is roughly 50–100 times faster
  • Disk (SSD/HDD): millions of clock cycles

Why the other options are wrong

  • (a) RAM: main memory is built from DRAM and is many times slower than cache; that is the very reason cache exists.
  • (b) Secondary memory: hard disks and SSDs are the slowest level of the hierarchy.
  • (c) DRAM: this is the technology main memory (RAM) uses, so it has the same speed as (a), slower than cache.

Tip: Speed order: registers > cache (SRAM) > main memory (DRAM) > SSD > HDD. Faster is smaller and costlier per byte.
