40The cache is the data storage inside the [blank_start]CPU[blank_end]. Cache is much faster than [blank_start]RAM[blank_end]. Larger cache gives CPU [blank_start]faster[blank_end] access to more data which is needed to process.
- ACPU
- BRAM
- Cfaster
41More RAM means [blank_start]faster[blank_end] or [blank_start]smoother[blank_end] system performance. If a computer has too little RAM it may run [blank_start]slowly[blank_end] due to the use of [blank_start]virtual[blank_end] memory.

44GPUs help CPUs process [blank_start]images[blank_end]. GPUs([blank_start]graphic[blank_end] [blank_start]processing[blank_end] [blank_start]unit[blank_end]) are specialised circuits for handling graphics and image [blank_start]processing[blank_end].

47If all data Is lost once power supply is gone it is known as [blank_start]volatile[blank_end].
