Which of the following is NOT a benefit of Cache Memory?

Cache memory is a small, high-speed storage mechanism located within or very close to the CPU, designed specifically to speed up data access and improve overall system efficiency. Its primary benefits include reduced latency in data access, faster data retrieval for the processor, and enhanced overall system performance.

The choice regarding increased storage capacity is not a benefit of cache memory. While cache does increase the speed at which the processor can access frequently used data, it does not serve to expand the total amount of storage available for data, as it typically has a much smaller capacity compared to main memory (RAM) or hard drives. Cache memory operates on the principle of speed rather than volume, prioritizing quick access to a limited amount of data rather than offering substantial storage space. Thus, the focus of cache memory lies in enhancing performance metrics—not in increasing the amount of data that can be stored.
