AI Thread Summary
Level 1 cache is situated closest to the CPU to provide rapid access to frequently used data, enhancing processing speed. In contrast, other cache levels are positioned between the RAM and the microprocessor to balance speed and capacity. Page tables, which facilitate virtual to physical address translation, reside in RAM, but the Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) cache is employed to expedite this translation process, minimizing latency and improving overall system performance.
