When we already have RAM (Random Access Memory), which is a kind of memory that is regarded as volatile, why do we need cache memory? Both cache memory and random access memory (RAM) rely on electrical parts known as transistors. If it's even conceivable, can a computer do all of its operations using only one kind of memory?
