Which of the following memory types is typically used for the CPU's Level 1 (L1) cache? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following memory types is typically used for the CPU's Level 1 (L1) cache?
A. Flash
B. SRAM
C. DRAM
D. SDRAM
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
L1 cache is built with SRAM because it is extremely fast and has low latency, matching the CPU speed, even though it is expensive and small.

Question #1
Which of the following is a volatile memory?
A. CD-ROM
B. ROM
C. Hard disk
D. RAM

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile, meaning it loses its contents when power is turned off. ROM, hard disk, and CD-ROM are non-volatile.

Question #2
Which level of cache memory is typically shared among multiple cores of a modern multi-core CPU architecture?
A. L3 Cache
B. L2 Cache
C. L0 Cache
D. L1 Cache

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
While L1 and L2 caches are generally dedicated to individual CPU cores, the L3 cache is larger, slightly slower, and shared across all cores on the processor die.

Question #3
Which of the following is a typical latency value for DDR4 RAM?
A. CL18-CL22
B. CL9-CL11
C. CL14-CL16
D. CL30-CL36

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
DDR4 common CAS latencies are around 14-16, though higher speeds may have CL18-22. DDR3 had CL9-11. DDR5 is higher (CL30+). So A is correct for typical DDR4.
