Such caches are fast memory currently in the processor chip (originally external). The smallest and fastest is the L1 cache with one part for data and other for program instructions. There is also a larger L2 cache that can store both. The purpose is to store most recently used data and instructions for much faster loading than from main memory on reuse.

cache memory is term as a short memory. cache memory is usually applied on your processor and your ram. It is a temporary storage in which it stores frequently used data for faster processing. more cache faster data processing. higher ram capacity = more cache.

cache memory is information held so your computer can access quickly. (simply put) Cache memory is random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. As the microprocessor processes data, it looks first in the cache memory and if it finds the data there (from a previous reading of data), it does not have to do the more time-consuming reading of data from larger memory.
