Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) Fast memory next to the CPU that reduces main memory access latency
A
Correct Answer
Fast memory next to the CPU that reduces main memory access latency
Explanation
L1 (~4 cycles), L2 (~12 cycles), L3 (~40 cycles), RAM (~200 cycles). Cache-friendly access patterns (sequential, not random) are the biggest assembly performance factor.
