Cache memory is a small, fast memory located close to the CPU that stores frequently accessed data, allowing the processor to retrieve it much quicker than from main RAM. The constant reading and writing of data to and from the cache, along with the electrical signals that power these operations, inevitably produce heat.
While the term "cachevärme" specifically points to the heat generated by the cache, it's part of a
