Figure 16-5 "Memory Cache" field
The cache is a high-speed memory buffer between the CPU and memory (DRAM).
Repeated memory access operations are executed in the faster cache, and not in the main
memory, provided the feature is enabled. In some cases it may be necessary to disable the
cache for certain types of hardware and software because intentional program runtimes or
delay times may be prevented by the fast cache.
[Disabled] Cache is disabled
[Write Through] Write access is not concluded until the entry has been made in main
memory
[Write Back] Write access is concluded immediately, the entry in main memory takes
place in the background (default)
