SRAM vs DRAM: The Speed Difference between Cache and RAM (Animation)

📚 Get the "Beginner's Guide to CPU Caches" E-Book at: https://bitlemon.lemonsqueezy.com/che... In this video, I talk about the difference between cache memory technology (SRAM), and main memory technology (DRAM). SUMMARY There are several reasons why cache access is much faster than main memory: the proximity of the memory to the processor core, the bus width, the complexity of the data transfer protocol, and the technology behind each type of memory. While proximity to the processor core, bus width, and data transfer protocol all play a role, the memory technology has the biggest impact on access latency.
