Cache hierarchy is a memory architecture that uses multiple levels of memory stores with varying access speeds to cache frequently accessed data, allowing for faster processing by CPU cores. This design helps overcome the latency of accessing main memory and improves CPU performance without the need for expensive high-speed main memory.
