pipeline burst cache Pipeline burst cache is a type of memory cache built into many DRAM controller and chipset designs. The purpose of pipeline burst caches is to minimize wait states so that memory can be accessed as fast as possible by the microprocessor. Pipeline burst caches use two techniques: a burst mode that pre-fetches memory contents before they are requested, and pipelining so that one memory value can be accessed in the cache at the same time that another memory value is accessed in DRAM.
