Diagram of a CPU memory cache operation. In computing, a cache (/ËkaeÊ/ ËKÃ¦Ê, kash /or/ ËKEÉªÊ kaysh AuE) aue is a component that stores data so future requests for that data can be served; faster the data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier, computation or the duplicate of data stored. elsewherehen the cache client (a CPU, web browser, operating system) needs to access data presumed to exist in the backing store, it first checks the cache. If an entry can be found with a tag matching that of the desired data, the data in the entry is used instead.
