[Edit/Modify Cache Info]
  | 
Cache Organization  Cache is a hardware component containing a relatively small and extremely fast memory designed to speed up the performance of a  CPU by preparing ahead of time the data it needs to read from a relatively slower medium such as main memory. The organization and amount of cache can have a large impact on the performance, power consumption, die size, and consequently cost of the IC. Cache is specified by its size, number of sets, associativity, block size, sub-block size, and fetch and write-back policies. Note: All units are in  kibibytes and  mebibytes.
