Types of Caches:
- Write-back Cache
- Modifies the content in main memory some time after it has been modified in the cache by the processor
- Changes will not be immediately affected.
- Outdated data access possible.
- Write-through Cache
- Modifies the content in main memory immediately after it has been changed in the cache memory.
- Changes will be immediate.
- Data access is possible only after it has been changed. So no outdated data.
