One of the most important parts of a processor is the buffer memory, also called the cache. What is it responsible for and how does it work?

How does computer memory work? To truly understand how computer memory works, we must first examine the basic building blocks that make it possible: transistors and logic gates.

A computer is a machine that executes a pre-written program—essentially a series of operations. This program is stored in memory, and the operations are carried out by the processor.

A CPU is the brain of your computer and has five major components. Learn how CPUs, or central processing units, work.
