    What is the typical line size of modern CPU caches (common value)?

    ক)
    8 bytes
    খ)
    16 bytes
    গ)
    64 bytes
    ঘ)
    512 bytes

    Explanation

    A 64-byte cache line balances spatial locality benefits and bandwidth costs. Larger lines can improve streaming but risk more useless data (pollution). Smaller lines reduce overfetch but may miss more. Designers tune per architecture and workload.
