L2 Cache (Computer Hardware)

A small amount of high-speed memory traditionally located near the CPU, but which, as of late, has been appearing on the CPU. Frequently accessed data is kept in the L2 cache, which helps improve performance by keeping that information near the CPU, and eliminating the need to fetch it from main memory. The size and speed of L2 cache can have a significant impact on a computer's performance.

L2 Cache (Technology)

A memory cache consisting of static RAM on a motherboard that uses an i486 or higher-level processor. The L2 cache, which typically contains 128 KB to 1 MB, is faster than the system DRAM but slower than the L1 cache built into the CPU chip. Also called level 2 cache. See also cache, dynamic RAM, i486DX, static RAM. Compare L1 cache.
