SRAM

Cache chip type

SRAM is static random-access memory, a type of computer memory that retains data as long as power is supplied, without needing periodic refresh cycles.

It's faster but more expensive than DRAM, so it's typically used for processor caches rather than main memory.

The CPU's L1 cache uses SRAM for speed.
